Funding Request
The FY 2012 IHL funding request reflects a 4.3% increase of almost $30.5 million over FY 2011. The request includes $375.5 million for on- and off-campus education, which includes $25,950,000 in Ayers Settlement funding; nearly $32 million in student financial aid; and $235 million for the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

In the Fall semester 2010, there were more than 70,000 students pursuing academic degree credit in the IHL system. IHL is committed to making educational opportunities accessible and affordable for all who choose a Mississippi university. This commitment includes creating an academic environment that allows students to receive a quality education that will equip them to contribute to the workforce and to be responsible citizens, as well as enhance their overall quality of life.

Providing a high-quality university education that is competitive enough to keep students in our state requires the best professors, sophisticated labs and research equipment, and safe, well-kept buildings.

Facilities Needs Request
The FY 12 funding request includes almost $337 million for capital improvements.

IHL’s eight campuses, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and its 12 satellite centers consist of 1,607 buildings. These buildings include more than 31 million gross square feet and have a replacement value of $6.8 billion.

Many of these buildings are more than 25 years old, some dating back to the 1880s and many from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. The vast majority date from the 1960s. Without funding for maintenance, we must use dollars that would otherwise be spent on improving academic quality, competitive faculty salaries, or instructional costs.
