The Alabama Commission on Higher Education approved a $2.01 billion budget recommendation for Alabama’s public two- and four-year institutions for FY 2022-23 at its quarterly meeting Friday. The amount represents a 17.53 percent increase over the FY 2021-22 appropriation. Throughout the two-day budget hearings, institutional representatives expressed the necessity for funding to attract and retain qualified faculty and staff, citing salary compression issues in an increasingly competitive market. Institutional representatives also expressed ongoing needs for capital improvements and infrastructure upgrades in the Covid-19 environment.
