E&G Appropriations

E&G Appropriations

Definition

Education and General (E&G) appropriations, and a portion of the fringe benefits on those appropriations, are provided by the State of Texas. [Fund code 21XX]

Decision

E&G appropriations are distributed to the colleges/school using the same weightings that the State uses to distribute these appropriations to the University. The colleges/school are then taxed at 45.7% to cover the cost of administrative/support units.

For purposes of the budget model, all units except for the eight academic colleges/school, are considered administrative/support units, including the offices of the President, Provost, and CFO.

E&G benefit appropriations are distributed based on headcount of benefit eligible employees.

Impact

This method accords with the method of distribution of appropriations from the State. From there the funds flow to the administrative/support units that support those colleges/school.
