The Memorial Union (MU) Organization was re-structured following FY\u201917 budget process.\u00a0 The MU, Student Leadership & Involvement (SLI) and Orange Media Network (OMN) all became independent departments.\u00a0 The approved fee for FY \u201917 was $86.53 prior to the restructure.\u00a0 Post restructure, this fee was split with the MU portion being $50.96 for FY\u201917.

In Section III. Overall Budget Matrix the fees with an asterisk are the fees approved before the department restructure.\u00a0 The actual fee is post department restructure.\u00a0 The AABC was tremendously helpful in researching all revenue and expenses to adjust fees proportionally between the three newly independent departments.<\/p>\n
The Memorial Union\u2019s base budget reflects no increase in fees from FY \u201817.\u00a0 The Decision Package #1 MU\/SEC Reserve to 50% was lowered to $100,000 instead of $420,231 due the 5-year plan of $100,000 per year.\u00a0 The SEC is a new building and large funds will not be needed until the building begins to age hence the 5-year plan.<\/p>\n

All revenue has been aligned with the corresponding expenses for each index thereby allowing transparency.\u00a0 A map of index usage has been created and shared with all budget authorities.\u00a0 Please refer to the attached index map.<\/p>\n
As part of the MU restructure the Marketing unit now reports through Student Affairs Marketing and the Craft Center reports through SLI.\u00a0 The MU will provide a letter of intent for a 2-year budget restructure to reflect services provided and services received to and from other departments.\u00a0 This restructure is an attempt to provide transparency for all department with shared efficiencies. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be created between all departments providing and\/or receiving services.\u00a0 The MOU is a tool for a formal relationship describing the services and expectations for each department.<\/p>\n
