ENDOWMENT
From Page 1A
on student financial aid and reduce
the share of the burden being place
on the government.
"Tuition has gone up, college
presidents' salaries have gone up,
and endowments continue to go
up and up," Grassley told The New
York Times in January. "We need
to start seeing tuition relief for
families go up just as fast."
The University's letter said $1.4
billion, or about 20 percent of the
endowment, is currently marked
for student aid, with half of that
restricted for undergraduate finan-
cial aid and half for graduate finan-

cial aid.
The data provided by the Uni-
versity aimed to emphasize the
accessibility of financial aid for
students, stating that about 71 per-
cent of undergraduate students
received some form of financial aid
in 2006-2007.
The letter also said 80 percent
of in-state undergraduate students
receive financial aid, whether in
the form of grants, work-study or
loans.
In the previous academic year,
the University provided approxi-
mately $94 million of under-
graduate aid in the form of grants
and scholarships, the letter said.
Another $45 million in grants that
year came from state and federal

sources.
"These data highlight the Uni-
versity of Michigan's deep com-
mitment to maximizing both the
quality and accessibility of a Uni-
versity of Michigan education
through a combination of aggres-
sive fundraising, prudent invest-
ment policy, careful stewardship
of endowment funds, and on-going
operation cost cutting measures,"
the letter said.
The past 10 years have seen the
University's endowment increase
nearly $5.2 billion - more than
200 percent - from $1.9 billion at
the start of 1998 to about $7.1 bil-
lion today.
According to an annual endow-
ment study by the National Asso-

ciation of College and University
Business Officers, the University's
endowment ranking has steadily
risen among other colleges and
universities over the past four
years, climbing three spots from
eleventh after the 2004 fiscal year
to eighth after the 2007 fiscal
year.
The University's 25.4 percent
endowment growth in the 2007
fiscal year was well above that
of the 17.2 national average, and
outpaced the growth of perennial
endowment heavyweights Har-
vard and Yale, which ranked first
and second, respectively, in the lat-
est NACUBO rankings.
Of the 10 schools with the larg-
est endowments, the University's

25.4 percent growth rate was the
biggest increase.
The importance of a growing
endowment was emphasized in the
letter in the context of the state of
Michigan's struggling economy,
which has resulted in an 11 percent
decline - about $40 million with-
out taking inflation into account
- in state appropriations over the
past six years.
Over that span, University
tuition and fees costs for in-state
students have increased by $3,316,
or 40 percent. For out-of-state stu-
dents, tuition and fees costs have
increased by $8,344, or 34 per-
cent.
"The University of Michigan
has a responsibility to diversify

and strengthen its financial base
through its endowment in order to
maintain its quality and accessi-
bility in the face of inflation, inev-
itable fluctuations in the financial
markets, and tightening state and
federal budgets," the letter said.
Although President Coleman's
pay is not based on the size or
growth of the endowment, Chief
InvestmentOfficer ErikLundberg's
salary is tied to the performance of
the endowment in relation to the
state of financial markets, the let-
ter said.
In the 2007 calendar year, Lund-
berg received $466,778 in incentive
payments for his role in increasing
the market value of the endow-
ment.
