System-Level Accountability Scorecard Access & Opportunities Indicator 1: Access to Programs & Courses - Minnesotans have access to an array of MnSCU programs and courses. Measure 2A: State and Local Appropriations per FYE.Measure 2A reports the amount of state and local appropriations for fiscal year 2003. The numerator is the amount of state and local appropriations. The denominator is the full time equivalent enrollment. State appropriations are amounts received by the institution through acts of a state legislative body, except grants and contracts and capital appropriations; funds reported in this category are for meeting current operating expenses, not for specific projects or programs. Local appropriations include appropriations from local governments, education district taxes and similar support and are amounts received from property or other taxes assessed directly by or for an institution below the state level; they include any other similar general support provided to the institution from governments below the state level, including local government appropriations.

Significance: Measure 2A is significant in that it provides an indication of how System institutions compare to other public institutions across the nation in the amount of state and local appropriations, as related to the full-year equivalent enrollment. This information may also be helpful as context for interpreting other measures in the Accountability Framework. Measure: As shown in Figure 2A, System colleges received $4,399 per FYE, or $219 less than similar U. S. public two-year colleges in fiscal year 2003; System universities received $4,244 per FYE, or $1,115 less than similar U. S. public universities. At the System-wide total level, institutions received $4,386 or $520 less than similar public institutions.
Context: Figures 2C-1 and 2C-2 provide some additional context for the primary financial measures. Figure 2C-1 displays the distribution of revenue sources as a percent of total operating and non-operating revenues. System institutions receive a larger percentage of their revenues from tuition and fees than do similar U. S. institutions. Figure 2C-2 provides the total operating and non-operating revenue per FYE. System colleges received $9,515 per FYE or $443 more than similar U. S. public two-year colleges in fiscal year 2003; System universities received $10,506 per FYE or $2,733 less than similar U. S. public universities.
Data Source: Data for finance measures were obtained from the National Center for Education Statistic’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). PowerPoint:System Level Accountability Measures PowerPoint Presentation on State and Local Appropriations per FYE Data:Technical Specs:
