Over Time, UMass Boston Has Become Increasingly Dependent upon Tuition & Fees 4

Understanding Our Revenue Sources: State Appropriation vs. Tuition and Fees 5 As the graph on the previous page illustrates, over time, UMass Boston has become increasingly dependent upon tuition and fees to fund its operations. The FY08 state appropriation represented about 40% of UMass Boston’s total revenue, a decrease of 35% compared to FY85. This change is the result of previous state budget cuts and the fact that, even in good times, the state appropriation has grown more slowly than our salary expenses. Recent budget reductions accelerate this process. As a result, although historically, people have preferred to have the salaries for their departments on the state appropriation rather than “soft” source of trust funds, the reality is that trust funds are becoming a more reliable funding source than the state appropriation.
