And so? Is that a bigger or smaller percentage of TESU's budget than in years past? And did you notice that TESU got a fifth the amount that any other NJ University got and an order of magnitude less than most?

Raw numbers without analysis or context mean nothing.

FY2014 TESU Budget
$62,047,624 Total Revenues
$39,319,950 Student Fees
$3,551,000 State Taxes
$11,560,662 Revolving
$7,616,012 Contracts

$56,550,992 Total Operating, Revolving, and Contact Expenses

$5,496,992 FY2014 Profit

FYI, TESU is not a real B&M University.  They are not Rutgers.

So they are getting less now than in years past, and tax dollars are a small percentage of their budget. Just what I thought and said.

They get 8% less total than 3 years ago from 5.7% of their budget.  Have they raised students fees only 8% total in the last 3 years?

They have a 10% profit margin.

The percentage of the budget made up of tax money has been declining for decades at our public universities is not true with TESU. They very much have pressure to balance the budget is NOT true.
-$259,000 vs $5,496,992 FY2014 Profit is no pressure!
