WE CONTINUE TO BUILD infrastructure support in areas of career and professional development, international programs, and student services. Graduate and Executive Education revenues continue to improve. Private philanthropy remains an important funding source at 13 percent of our budget, while revenues from external grants and contracts have experienced a decline. Within the state allocation and standard tuition share category, increased reliance on student tuition revenue relative to state funding continues to be a trend.
Salary and benefits also remain the largest expense category, reflecting the importance of human capability in delivering on our organizational mission.
