Comments on 2003-2004 Budget/Services
- Both Prospective Students and Enrolled Students (not eligible) include only those students who first contacted us in the reporting year (based on data entry date). There may have been additional prospective clients whose first contact with us was prior to the reporting year but who had subsequent contact with us during the reporting year. We cannot ascertain this without going through every individual's case notes, though.
- Breakdown of clients by disability includes only "Enrolled Student Clients" in Part I. We cannot provide confirmed disability information on prospective clients.
- Academic Staff fixed costs do not include staff interpreter (1.5 FTE) salaries or fringe benefits. Their salaries are included under Variable Cost/Required Services. A fringe benefit cost of $4,983 paid out of the DVR SGG dollars is also included there. The fringe benefit costs paid out of GPR dollars are not reflected in the report.
- Student Hourly fixed costs do not include salaries or fringe benefits for student hourlies who coordinate Variable Cost/Required Services. Salaries are included in that section.
- Academic Staff FTE reflects 1.0 Director, 1.0 Assistant Director, 3.50 Accommodations Specialists, 1.0 Student Services Coordinator, 1.5 Staff Interpreters (9 month). Salaries for the 1.5 FTE staff interpreters are included under Variable Cost/Required Services.
- Under Optional Services, we cannot provide number of students served or their DVR status for Adaptive Equipment and Repair since the majority of these dollars paid for equipment placed in campus computer labs or libraries for use by students (e.g., Kurzweil 3000, audio CD players and software, video magnifier, etc.). We also cannot provide statistics for Evaluation/Diagnostic Assessment since these dollars reflect our contribution to Student Assessment Services to perform LD evaluatons. We have no records to track numbers served or DVR status.
- Under Total Actual Costs - In the Other VR $$ column we ran a deficit of $85,993.93 (difference between expenses of $126,265.95 billed to this account and $40,272.02 in Other VR income for FY4). Expenses of $75,807 were eventually covered by Vice Chancellor ($25,269) and Budget Offices ($50,538). Additional deficit in this budget and in our GPR 2562 account was covered by McBurney GPR 2560 dollars and Dean of Students dollars. Had we not had $5,000 from CEW grant, overall deficit would have been greater.
Comments on Income Sources/Variance
- DVR non-SGG income of $40,272.02 is based $38,392.02 received for a student in Medical School (which matched Medical School bills in FY4) and $1,880 for a reader for another student (which was $160 under costs of $2,040 due to mistaken underbilling). It does not include $3,569.47 FY3 sales credits received in FY4 since the Dean of Students Office took back these funds to cover FY3 deficit.
- Gift total is calculated based on expenses billed to 133 and 90 private funding accounts.
- Other University Funds are based on money received to cover interpreting costs for a summer swimming camp held by the Athletic Department and non-academic RTC costs from the Business School.
- Variance is due mainly to a deficit in the accounts established to cover direct support services, both VR and UW funded. The VR deficit has grown as VR support has dwindled. The UW deficit has been an ongoing problem because this budget has been significantly underfunded for many years.
2002-2003 Annual Report
Comments on 2002-2003 Budget/Services
- Prospective Student Clients includes 203 enrolled students without VISAs who first contacted us in the reporting year and 431 Non-Enrolled Students who first contacted us in reporting year. This number is smaller than previous years because we reported prospective clients only by their initial contact date. There may have been additional prospective clients whose first contact with us was prior to the reporting year but who had subsequent contact with us during the reporting year. We cannot ascertain this without going through every individual's case notes, though.
- Breakdown of clients by disability includes only "Enrolled Student Clients" in Part I. We cannot provide confirmed disability information on prospective clients.
- Academic Staff fixed costs do not include Deaf/HOH staff (2.5 FTE) salaries or fringe benefits. Their salaries are included under Variable Cost/Required Services.
- Student Hourly fixed costs do not include salaries or fringe benefits for student hourlies who coordinate Variable Cost/Required Services. Salaries are included in that section.
- Academic Staff FTE reflects 1.0 Director, 1.0 Assistant Director, 3.50 Accommodations Specialists, 1.0 Student Services Coordinator, 1.5 Staff Interpreters (9 month). Salaries for the 2.5 FTE Deaf/HOH staff are included under Variable Cost/Required Services.
- Under Optional Services, we cannot provide number of students served or their DVR status for Adaptive Equipment and Repair since these dollars paid for ALD purchase and repair. ALDs are loaned to students but detailed records of who used the equipment during the year are not kept. We also cannot provide statistics for Evaluation/Diagnostic Assessment since these dollars reflect our contribution to Student Assessment Services to perform LD evaluatons. We have no records to track numbers served or DVR status.
- Under Total Actual Costs - In the Other VR $$ column we ran a deficit of $31,622.74 in this budget line which was eventually covered by our GPR dollars. A lump sum transfer of charges was made at the end of the budget year. We had $43,535.77 in expenses and only $11,913.03 in income. A check for $17,965.37 that arrived early in FY3 to cover FY2 costs had to be returned to the Dean of Students Office to reimburse them for costs they covered in FY2 due to the late check. Only $7,568.11 of the $11,913.03 paid for VR costs incurred in FY3. The other $4,344.92 paid for VR costs covered by the Medical School in FY3. McBurney was supposed to have reimbursed the Medical School for this amount but the transfer of funds was not made in FY3. The $11,913.03 does not include checks that came in FY4 (total of $3,569.47) for expenses incurred in FY3 ($1,280 McBurney paid and $2,289.47 the Medical School initially covered. McBurney had agreed to reimburse the Medical School up to $5,000 for FY3 costs.
Comments on Income Sources/Variance
- DVR non-SGG income is based on $11,913.03 sales credit receipts of VR checks deposited in FY3. The $11,913.03 does not include checks that came in FY4 (total of $3,569.47) for expenses incurred in FY3 ($1,280 McBurney paid and $2,289.47 the Medical School initially covered. McBurney had agreed to reimburse the Medical School up to $5,000 for FY3 costs. It also does not include a check for $17,965.37 that arrived early in FY3 to cover FY2 costs had to be returned to the Dean of Students Office to reimburse them for costs they covered in FY2 due to the late check.
- Gift total is calculated based on expenses billed to 133 and 90 private funding accounts.
- Other University Funds are based on money received to cover interpreting costs for employees in the English Department and the Rehabilitation Psychology Department (also student clients) for whom we provided real time captioning and interpreting services.
- Variance is due mainly to a deficit in the 2561 and 2562 accounts established to cover direct support services. An analysis of how many dollars we should have received from DVR to cover services for their clients versus how many dollars we actually received is currently being done.
