State Auditor according to an audit plan developed in consultation
with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Legislative
Budget Board and the public community and junior colleges, and the
dollar amounts adjusted accordingly by the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board. The total amount that is reduced from colleges
which have overstated base period contact hours shall be
redistributed to those colleges which have understated base period
contact hours to the extent of such understatement. The calculation
of revised appropriation amounts shall allow the institutions an
error rate of up to two percent. Adjustments shall be made to
adjust estimated contact hours to actual certified contact hours,
even if the total error rate is less than two percent. No college
shall have dollar amounts adjusted below <$2,025,000> $2,400,000.
Institutions where sampling errors are identified may request a
comprehensive institutional audit at institutional expense.
      (6)  Adjust the appropriate totals accordingly.
