(National Level Data) The higher an institution s ratio, the greater proportion of the institution s spending on administration relative to its spending on instruction (i.e., a ratio of. means that an institution spends cents on administration for every dollar it spends on instruction, based on the formula used in the study presented in the paper, How Much Is Too Much: Controlling Administrative Costs through Effective Oversight, produced by The American Council of Trustees & Alumni, Institute for Effective Governance). 35% $. $. In 5 6, UTSA spent an estimated cents on administration for every dollar spent on instruction. Administrative/instructional cost ratio = administrative cost divided by instructional cost Administrative cost = expenses reported in IPEDS as institutional support Instructional cost = expenses reported in IPEDS as instruction added to expenses reported in IPEDS as academic support Institutional support = day to day operational support of the institution. Includes expenses for general administrative services, executive direction and planning, legal and fiscal operations, and public relations/development. Instruction = expenses of the colleges, schools, departments, and other instructional divisions of the institution, as well as expenses for departmental research and public service that are not separately budgeted. 3 Academic support = expenses for the support services that are an integral part of the institution s primary missions of instruction, research, and public service and includes expenses for museums, libraries, galleries, audio/visual services, ancillary support, academic administration, personnel development, course and curriculum development, as well as expenses for academic administration where the primary function is administration (e.g., academic deans). Note: Based on the broad definition of instructional cost and narrow definition of administrative cost, the ratios likely underestimate the amount institutions spend on administration.

UT System Methodology: Median debt = loan amounts incurred while attending UT System institutions for first time incollege students (excludes debt incurred at other non UT System campuses ). Additionally, PLUS loans unsubsidized loans for the parent of dependent students were not included as this is debt taken on by parent. THECB Methodology: Includes Parent PLUS loans and debt incurred at other institutions (i.e., debt incurred by students at non UT institutions would be included). Calculating Debt: Methodological Drawbacks Debt Incurred at non UT Institutions While the THECB includes all debt accrued at all Texas institutions in its calculation of a student s debt, UT System calculations of student debt are limited to debt accrued while the student is enrolled at a UT System institution. While this is a limitation of the data available to us, it is also an important decision point when creating a metric for institutional accountability. Should loan amounts that are accrued while the student is at another institution be included in a metric gauging the affordability of a different institution? Parent PLUS Loans. The loans taken out by parents (Parent PLUS) rather than by students are an important consideration when discussing college cost of attendance. However, including them in the calculation of student debt and the ratio of that debt to first year earnings misrepresents the burden on new graduates. For this reason, in most cases including in calculations made by the federal government the methodologies do not include parent loans. UT System has shared its concerns regarding including the parent loans in their calculations with the THECB, but the THECB plans to include them for this goal. Note: The THECB s 6x3 website has incorporated average debt of graduates with loans from same institution versus other institution(s) for additional context. But the goal calculation will still include debt incurred at non UT institutions.

UT SAN ANTONIO : TOTAL STUDENT ENROLLMENT, FALL 7 = 3,674 What Are The Requirements Needed to Receive NRUF Funding Eligibility criteria require data for the two fiscal years preceding the state fiscal year for which the appropriation is made: FY 8. The NRUF statute created two categories of eligibility criteria: Mandatory and Optional. Mandatory Criteria ( of ):. Designation as an emerging research university in THECB s Accountability System TX State U TX Tech U* UT System Institutions: UTA, UTD, UTEP, and UTSA U of Houston* U of North Texas *Not included in the data as both institutions met eligibility in FY and began receiving distributions from NRUF.. At least $45 million in restricted research expenditures in each of the two state fiscal years preceding the state fiscal year for which the appropriation is made. History of and Future Funding: Progress to National Research University Fund (NRUF) Optional Criteria (4 of 6): The optional category allows institutions flexibility in meeting the criteria an institution must meet four of the six statutory established criteria:. Endowment funds. PhD degrees awarded 3. Freshman class of high academic achievement % freshman class in top 5% of high school class SAT/ACT scores Progress toward Closing the Gaps participation/success 4. Research capabilities & scholarly achievement (Association Of Research Libraries/Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi) 5. High quality faculty National Academy members and Nobel prize recipients Other faculty awards 6. High quality graduate education Number graduate level programs, master s and doctoral graduation rates In the FY NRUF Report, the THECB reported that Texas Tech University and University of Houston met eligibility. Both institutions received distributions from NRUF after the mandatory audit, was conducted in accordance with TEC 6.46(c) and completed by the State Auditor. Two of the universities, UTD and UTEP, reported restricted research expenditures at or above the statutory threshold of $45 million for both FY 6 and 7, a mandatory requirement to receive distributions from NRUF**. Institutional performance varied on the six measures specified in the optional category. UTD reported four of six optional criteria fulfilled for both consecutive FYs 6 and 7. UTD therefore is eligible for fund distribution in FY 8, pending the requirement to undergo an audit conducted by the State Auditor s Office in FY 8.
