the University's expenditures. Some
areas are not compensated by the gen-
eral fund, such as athletics, housing and
the University hospital.
Tuition and state appropriations
make up the largest percentage of
the general fund's sources, with 59.4
percent of revenue coming from
tuition and 25.8 percent from state
appropriations in 2005-06.
In the same year, indirect cost recovery
made up 13.6 percent of the general fund.
Indirect cost recovery revenues - addi-
tional funds that accompany research
grants - are used by the University to
reimburse itself for costs incurred, such as
the expenses of lighting and space use.
By analyzing the general fund data
through time, the figures demonstrate
a shift of public policy from social to
individual dependence, Peterson said.
Although tuition accounts for 33.6
percent more of the general fund than
state appropriations, the sources have
not always been balanced that way. In
1989-90, the general fund consisted of
45.6 percent tuition dollars and 44.1 per-
cent state dollars. Looking even farther
into the past, state appropriations made
up 76.9 percent of the general fund in
1959-60, whereas tuition accounted for
only 21.7 percent that year.
The University prides itself on its
ability to provide significant financial
aid to mitigate the cost pressures on stu-
dents and families, Peterson said.
"We hate raising tuition. It's the last
thing we want to do," Hanlon said.
The University raised tuition 12.3 per-
cent last year for resident undergraduates
and 6 percent for nonresident undergrad-
uates. At the same time, financial aid -
budgeted from the general fund - was
increased by 14.5 percent for residents
and 6.3 percent for nonresidents. Hanlon
said financial aid is always raised at least
at the same rate as tuition.
The University is ranked 10th in
the Big Ten for its average annual
increase in tuition - 7 percent -
