Brown  \nAppendix A . Cost Analysis Data and Methods  \nApplying the Ingredients Method  \nWe rely on data from a survey ofF WS coordinators and supervisors, interviews with campus administrators and staff, and student payroll records. To assess whether reported resource use in the 2021-22 academic year may reflect lingering pandemic-related operational disruptions, we fielded the same survey instrument in December 2023–January 2024 and asked FWS coordinators to report on the 2022-23 academic year.  \nThis cost analysis focuses on the actual use of resources rather than funding formulas, which can differ significantly from the allocation ofF WS funds at the campus level. When campuses receive a block amount ofF WS funds, their responsibility is to enable students to engage in paid work. Campuses may claim up to 5% of their allocation to offset the costs of administering FWS, but they may also contribute institutional resources to support the administration and operation of the program. Although these amounts are regulated, prior evidence suggests that they are unlikely to directly correspond to the total resources that institutions allocate for implementation of the program (Bowden & Belfield, 2015).  \nFor each of the six campuses, all FWS ingredients were identified, described, and quantified using the data collection methods described below. We then matched all ingredients with average New York prices in constant 2023 U.S. dollars. Ingredients were grouped in categories of personnel, professional development and training, and materials and equipment. For personnel prices, we drew 2022 public salaries from [Openpayrolls.com](Openpayrolls.com) and the Empire Center’s SeeThroughNY websites. This process involved assigning an appropriate price and fringe benefit rate for each personnel type based on the titles of the personnel. For instance, personnel in the College Assistant title at CUNY can work up 1,040 hours per fiscal year at a rate of $17.65 per hour. Prices for FWS coordinators reflect their actual salaries taken from public salary databases, while FWS supervisors’ average salaries were assigned based on their reported titles and qualifications in the FWS supervisor survey (e.g., higher education specialist or associate/officer,  \nImplementing the Federal Work-Study Program: A Resource Utilization and Cost Study at Six CUNY Colleges  \nadministrative assistant, and faculty). Prices for materials and equipment, such as technology platforms and software, were drawn from the FWS coordinator survey responses. To avoid double-counting, we did not include the cost of professional development and training in our cost estimation. The personnel cost estimation factors in the virtual training opportunities that predominantly occur during work hours.  \nData Collection  \nInterviews. We conducted virtual interviews and focus groups with financial aid directors and FWS coordinators from our six campuses and CUNY Central FWS staff. The first round of interviews focused on the implementation of the FWS program at both the campus and system levels and involved 13 staff members. The second round of interviews focused on the costs associated with managing and operating the traditional FWS program at the campus level, with six staff members participating. Overall, we interviewed a total of 20 staff members across both rounds, exploring topics such as resource shortages, staffing, technology solutions, and the role of supervisors.  \nSurveys. We administered cost study surveys to F WS coordinators from our six campuses in October and November 2022. The 15-minute Qualtrics survey focused on FWS coordinators’experiences working for the F WS program (current and past) and the resources that it ","cbCaipbtAsk83BLm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipbtAsk83BLm","pdf",191219,"English","# Appendix A.
