Why is the reduction only against A1/A2 funds?
We are focused on unrestricted funds, which you may know as A1 funds. These funds support our core budget: department operating budgets, utilities and library acquisitions. This is the category of funds supported by endowment distribution, net tuition and fees, unrestricted gifts and overhead on grants. It is the money that we allocate through the budget process. We are asking the auxiliaries (Housing and Dining, Health Services and Parking and Transportation) to participate as well. Their funds are referred to as A2.
