The graphs below show the actual dollar and percentage of budget allocations to major functional areas (Instruction and Academic Support, Student Services, Institutional Support, Facilities, and Other (which contains non-facility related auxiliaries)) for the college over the past 10 years. These allocations have all increased, but on a percentage basis are relatively constant. Auxiliary costs and income have grown as we have strategically increased the fraction of our students who live on campus. The percentage of the budget that supports the academic program (instructional and academic support budgets) has also increased.

The Building, Maintenance, and Equipment Fund, which is a rolling fund for specific buildings, technology, and academic equipment project (and which is maintained in the Base Budget) has been allocated to different categories in the above charts as follows: building-related costs are in Facilities-Related Costs; Technology costs are carried largely in Academic Support with a fraction in Institutional Support; and academic equipment is carried in Instruction.
