1 6 <The funds appropriated for purposes of this
1 7 lettered paragraph are subject to the following
1 8 allocations and requirements:
1 9 (1) The funds shall be distributed on a pro rata
1 10 basis to the universities' general operating budget
1 11 units by the board as outlined in the state board of
1 12 regents partnership for transformation and excellence
1 13 and for pay adjustments, expense reimbursements, and
1 14 related benefits for state board of regents employees
1 15 covered by a collective bargaining agreement and for
1 16 state board of regents not covered by a collective
1 17 bargaining agreement. The state board of regents
1 18 shall provide from other available sources any
1 19 additional funding needed for such pay adjustments,
1 20 expense reimbursements, and related benefits.
1 21 (2) The state university of Iowa, the Iowa state
1 22 university of science and technology, and the
1 23 university of northern Iowa shall each generate
1 24 matching internal reallocations in an amount equal to
1 25 50 percent of the prorated amounts received by the
1 26 universities pursuant to this lettered paragraph.
1 27 (3) The partnership for transformation and
1 28 excellence is a four=year partnership plan for the
1 29 purpose of enhancing the regents' strategic priorities
1 30 for educational quality and public accountability.
1 31 Under the plan, Iowa students and families will be
1 32 subject to moderate student tuition increases, and a
1 33 clear and concise reallocation plan that may be
1 34 audited will exist to strengthen the academic focus at
1 35 the regents universities. The reallocation plan will
1 36 enhance the quality of the regents universities and
1 37 provide both an incentive and an opportunity for
1 38 university=wide reprioritization and reallocation of
1 39 resources to the most important strategic areas.
1 40 (4) The state board of regents shall annually set
1 41 a target dollar amount or percentage figure of
1 42 expected reallocation of resources for each
1 43 university. The universities shall report to the
1 44 board on a semiannual basis regarding the actions
1 45 taken relating to the reallocations. Once funds have
1 46 been reallocated, that amount shall not be redirected
1 47 to the original entity or purpose unless extraordinary
1 48 circumstances exist and an equivalent reallocation
1 49 amount is increased for the same fiscal year. A
1 50 reallocation of resources may be made for any of the
2 1 following purposes:
2 2 (a) Supporting new strategic initiatives.
2 3 (b) Meeting enrollment increases.
2 4 (c) Meeting the demand for new courses and
2 5 services.
2 6 (d) Funding new but unavoidable or mandated cost
2 7 increases.
2 8 (e) Supporting any other initiatives important to
2 9 the core functions of the university.
2 10 (5) For the purposes of this lettered paragraph:
2 11 (a) "Entity" means a president, vice president, or
2 12 a college, academic or nonacademic department,
2 13 division, program, or other unit.
2 14 (b) "Reallocation of resources" means funds within
2 15 the base budget of a university entity are removed by
2 16 the administrator of that entity and redirected to
2 17 another university entity or purpose.
2 18 (6) From the moneys allocated to the Iowa state
2 19 university of science and technology pursuant to this
2 20 lettered paragraph, an amount equal to $250,000 shall
2 21 be distributed to the college of veterinary medicine
2 22 to reduce the operating fees charged by the veterinary
2 23 diagnostic laboratory. If Iowa state university of
2 24 science and technology fails to distribute funds to
2 25 the college of veterinary science in accordance with
2 26 this paragraph, the moneys shall revert to the general
2 27 fund of the state.>
