BAC

Former Budget Advisory Committee of the San José State University Academic Senate. It was replaced by the Resource Planning Board (RPB) in January/February 2004.

Backfill

An increase in resources to fill a void resulting from management decisions. For SJSU budget application, it refers to restoring funding loss(es) due to state legislative, CSU systemwide, or central SJSU managerial decisions. For example, a reduction in the State University Fee results in a projected revenue shortfall to the campus. Additional State support to compensate for the revenue shortage would be referred to as the Fee Reduction Backfill.

Base Budget

Permanent operating budget given to a unit to continuously carry out a basic, ongoing mission from one fiscal year to another. This is in contrast to one time funding, which is allocated for projects with a specific ending date.

Benefits

Reference is to what is commonly known as staff or employee benefits, i.e.: Social Security (OASDI), retirement (PERS), health coverage, dental coverage, vision, etc. The benefits available to an individual are dependent upon the employee’s collective bargaining unit’s negotiated contract.

Budget Letters

Budget Letters are distributed by the State of California's Department of Finance to all State of California agencies. The CSU is exempt from most Department of Finance budget related directives. Any budget related directives issued by the Department of Finance that SJSU may be required to respond to will be issued to the campus via a request out of the CSU Chancellor’s Office.
