Beginning of Fiscal Year Non-Personnel / Operating Budgets by College (INCLUDING class fees),

PLUS session profit sharing monies and equipment monies: Fiscal Years 2009-10 through 2014-15

SUMMARY:

$ What funds (or revenues) does Towson University receive?

Towson was budgeted for state-assisted revenues of over $279 million dollars for fiscal year 2014-2015, with almost 93%

coming from fall / spring tuition and state appropriation monies.

$ What is the beginning of year budget for Academic Affairs?

The total beginning of year budget for Academic Affairs for fiscal year 2014-2015 is over $140 million dollars, with almost

90% budgeted for faculty and staff.

$ What are the beginning of year budgets for the academic and administrative units in the Academic Affairs?

About 82% of the total beginning of year budget for Academic Affairs for fiscal year 2014-2015 went to the six academic

colleges, academic programs, and the library (after including lecturer and adjunct and private lessons budgets).

$ Have non-personnel/operating beginning of year budgets for the academic units in Academic Affairs changed?

Non-personnel/operating beginning of year budgets have varied but we have tried our best to maintain and/or increase the

non-personnel/operating budgets with alternative “non-beginning of year” monies from summer session profit sharing and

other self-support monies. There have also been variability due to staff reclassifications and class fee decreases.
