System-Level Accountability Scorecard Access & Opportunities Indicator 1: Access to Programs & Courses - Minnesotans have access to an array of MnSCU programs and courses. Measure 2B: Private Gift, Grant and Contract Revenue.Measure 2B reports the amount of revenue received through private gifts and through state, federal, local and private grants and contracts for fiscal year 2003. The numerator is the amount of gift, grant and contract revenue. The denominator for measure 2B-1 is the full-time equivalent enrollment, while for measure 2B-2 the denominator is the amount of revenue from tuition, fees, and state and local appropriations. Private gifts include contributions from affiliated organizations, and are revenues from private donors for which no legal consideration is provided; they include all gifts or contributions to the institution except those classified as additions to permanent endowments or capital grants and gifts. Grants and contracts are revenues from federal, state and local government agencies and local/private organizations that are for specific research projects or other types of programs and that are classified as operating revenues.

Significance: Measure 2B is significant in that it provides an indication of how System institutions compare to other public institutions across the nation in the amount of gift, grant and contract revenues, as related to the full-year equivalent enrollment and as related to tuition and state and local appropriations. This information may also be helpful as context for interpreting other measures in the Accountability Framework. Measure: As shown in Figure 2B-1, System colleges received $1,868 per FYE, or $124 more than similar U. S. public two-year colleges in fiscal year 2003; System universities received $1,457 per FYE or $745 less than similar U. S. public universities. Figure 2B-2 shows that System colleges and universities both received less in gift, grant and contract revenue per $100 of tuition, fees and appropriations than did similar public institutions in fiscal year 2003.
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.
