comparisons adjusted for inflation (Government Purchases)

Notes

  • In FY20, the budget uses $2.9 million that in the past would have been available for State University Incentive Grants (7066-1400) and shifts it to the individual state universites. The budget also take funding that in the past supported centralized funding for community colleges (7100-4000) and distributes it to the individual campuses.
  • In order to make the most accurate year-to-year comparisons, consider both campus appropriations and funding for the campuses included in collective bargaining reserves.
  • From FY01-FY11, with only a few exceptions, higher education campuses did not retain tuition collected from any of their students; instead, these funds were remitted back to the state treasury. Starting in FY12, all public higher education campuses were allowed to retain out-of-state tuition payments, remitting only in-state tuition. In order to allow for more accurate comparisons of net state appropriations across years, MassBudget deducts the amount of tuition remitted back to the state for each campus for each year.
