          (100,000)

4.            Projected net increase/decrease in AVED funding (separate from FTE funding).  Funding to Malaspina will decrease in year 1 because AVED has reallocated funds within an overall fixed budget to student aid and amortization.  In year 2 the overall AVED budget increases by $30 million allowing further assignment to student aid and amortization, but also an increase to Malaspina.

By committing $399,003 of non-recurring funds in 2004/05 (this constitutes a first charge on the Non-Recurring Budget), the decrease in year 1 and increase in year 2 are rounded off to a net decrease of $357,005 in year 1.
