The $1.45 million shortfall in UCF’s Activity and Service Fee Budget KnightNews.com exposed last week could be just the surface to a much more widespread budget issue across the entire university.
KnightNews.com is working to find out how big of an impact the credit hour shortage is having on other fee revenue that is used in many of UCF’s departments.
We asked UCF on Monday afternoon several key questions regarding the over-projected A&SF budget — including whether all of UCF’s entities, such as the health center and UCF athletics, used the same projections. If they did, it would mean that their budgets would be impacted by the same shortfall.
We also asked UCF who made these initial projections and how they came to be grossly incorrect as well as who discovered these projections to be wrong. Our crews discovered that SGA advisors knew about the shortfall before the student senators did and failed to report the information during the last Senate meeting.
We are expecting to have more answers from the UCF administration and from SGA President Melissa Westbrook this week. Continue to check back for updates.
