The University Priority Fund was established in 1994/95 to provide funding for needs which are consistent with the campus' Plan for the 90s and which are not supported by the regular allocation process. Funding for this program ended in FY 1997/98.
Completing the General Fund are the Centrally Monitored Funds, the University Reserve, and Reimbursed Activities. Centrally Monitored Funds are used for special needs that benefit the University as a whole. The University Reserve is a fund established to accommodate unanticipated and unplanned expenditures during the fiscal year such as legal fees, legal settlements, shortfalls in revenue, emergencies and major unanticipated expenditures. Finally, Reimbursed Activities is used to record expenditures made initially in the General Fund, for the benefit of other organizations. It contains only those specialized services which are fully reimbursed, and includes revenue and expenditures of those operations which are unrelated to, but which may enhance, the primary mission of the University For example, the Athletic Corporation funds salaries in addition to those paid for with General Funds. These expenditures and the accompanying reimbursements are recorded in Reimbursed Activities.
For future discussions in this document, the budgets have been rearranged organizationally to reflect the more familiar structure of the campus.
