Test FAQ

That depends on how “budget” is defined?

Texas State’s operating budget is made up of accounts in the Current Unrestricted fund groups (Educational & General, Designated, and Auxiliary Enterprises).

Restricted accounts (funded by gifts, grants and contracts) are excluded from the operating budget because of the restricted and uncertain nature of their funding.  The best estimate for the Restricted budget in the current year is Restricted expenditures in the prior year.  In fiscal year 2007, Restricted expenditures totaled $48,458,188.

Include this number if you want total research funds and total funded student aid.

Plant funds are not part of the operating budget since they are not spent on current operations.  Still the annual funding for capital improvements is an important use of current funds so transfers for capital improvements are budgeted in the current operating budget.
