300-319A IBHE COSTS
Source: The annual Discipline Cost Study submitted by the university to the
Illinois Board of Higher Education. Based
on the activities reported by departments, payments made to
employees, and instructor course
assignments, the Cost Study calculates the direct salary dollars spent by each
department on instruction, research, and
public service. Instructional costs are subdivided into costs by student
level, and the cost per IU at each level is
calculated. Overhead costs at the department, school, college, and campus are
calculated and added to the
instruction, research, and public service direct salary costs by a formula.
Lines 300-310 show the cost per IU by student level. The costs shown include the department state dollars spent on instruction and the department's share of the college and school overheads; campus overheads are not included. The dollar value of teaching subsidies (when a faculty member teaches a course for another department) is included with the costs of the department which received credit for the IUs. Dollars are not adjusted for inflation. The IUs included are all IUs in courses offered by the department, including all extramural and correspondence IUs, regardless of whether the teaching was on-load or off-load. Non-state-funded IUs are excluded. Costs per IU may fluctuate significantly when a department has very few students in a given class (lower division, upper division, grad I, or grad II) because the costs depend on the mix of courses taken by the students. For example, grad II students from another department may enroll in a 100-level course.
