Operating Performance Financial Highlights NC A&T believes the budget process is key to ensuring effective management and efficient responses to unforeseen, contingency, or emergency events such as a decrease in statewide revenue collections, reductions in appropriations, or natural disasters. At the outset of the internal budget process, the University Budget Office will reserve generally 3% of the state-appropriated funds for such unforeseen events. The University has generated a net increase in revenues each year from 2010 to 2014 The target rate for endowment distributions to the University is currently 4.5% of the endowment s three year average calendar year-end market value with consideration for the real rate of inflation. Distributions from the endowment to the University are made without regard for whether its return was greater or less than the agreed upon spending level. However, current policy does not allow spending from an underwater endowment. Endowment funds distributed to the University are used primarily for student scholarships, endowed professorships, endowed departmental chairpersons, and academic support.
