Information is provided on the expenditure of the general operations and maintenance fund and any legislative special appropriations for that particular year. The table shows actual expenditures, a more accurate financial indicator than the printed budget. Five-year summaries of that same information are also provided showing the total amount and separate summaries for compensation and supplies, expense, and equipment expenditures. It should be noted that the financial information may show only a rough correspondence to that provided by the central administration for the University as a whole because of differences in methods of collection and aggregation of the data. Revenue and expenditure data from the most recent IPEDS reports prepared by the central administration is also included.
Financial aid information for the past five years shows the actual distribution of aid including the number of eligible recipients and the average award per student. The information comes from the annual report from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.
Staffing information shown for the current academic year, as well
as that shown in the five-year summaries, is as of the fall quarter.
Beginning in 1994, it does include part-time, temporary staff,
but it does not include student employment. This explains the
increase in the crafts/trades and service employees. Teaching
faculty are shown under the category of "Instruction and
Research," but there are additional administrative faculty
appearing under the categories of "Academic Support";
"Executive Management"; and "Support Professionals."
Some rounding of appointments to either full-time or half-time
has occurred; nevertheless, the data are quite accurate and are
consistent from year to year. The reader is encouraged to study
the definitions on the tables in order to understand which units
are included under each of the categories shown. The information
in the five-year summaries is broken down, first, by occupational
classification and, secondly, by the principal function performed
by the employees.
