DEFINITIONS

ENDOWMENT: The endowment consists of donor-restricted funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees. The principal or corpus of the endowment must remain intact. The university’s endowment spending policy provides a sustainable flow of funds to support annual operations, and balances current spending needs against preservation of the endowment’s future purchasing power.

OPERATING BUDGET: The operating budget includes all revenues and expenses that relate to the university’s educational programs, research, training, and supporting activities.
