This study addresses issues related to three university funding matters: policy
initiatives or decisions packages, tuition and fees, and funding for student
enrollment growth. We found that although decision packages expenditures can be
tracked only to a limited degree, universities are spending the full dollar
amount appropriated for programs related to decision packages, plus additional
monies. We also found that while it was not possible to determine the specific
expenditures that were funded from tuition and fees, more than half of the
expenditures of unrestricted monies were for instruction and academic support.
Finally, we found that the actual amounts the Legislature appropriated for
student enrollment growth funding, while generally following changes in student
population, have been less than the amounts dictated by the formula used to
calculate the funding needed.
