Overall, presidents’ confidence in their institution’s financial viability has been increasing in recent years – both at 5-yr. and 10-yr. outlooks Public doctoral institution presidents have the greatest confidence in financial viability in the next five years. Private baccalaureate institution presidents are more confident in their financial viability over a 10-yr. horizon than the next five years. Private institution business officers are less confident than their presidents in the institution’s financial viability over the long term (2018 results).

Tuition and fees are revenues from all tuition and fees assessed against students (net of refunds and discounts & allowances) for educational purposes. Sales and services of auxiliary enterprises are revenues (net of discounts and allowances such as scholarships) generated by auxiliary enterprises that exist to furnish a service to students, faculty, or staff, and that charge a fee that is directly related to the cost of the service (e.g., residence halls, food services, student health services, intercollegiate athletics, college unions, college stores, and movie theaters). Total operating revenues is the sum of all operating revenues. They result from providing services and producing and delivering goods.
13
State appropriations are amounts received by the institution through acts of a state legislative body, except grants and contracts and capital appropriations. Funds reported in this category are for meeting current operating expenses, not for specific projects or programs. Total non-operating revenues represents the sum of all revenues generated from non-exchange transactions.

In the U.S., educational appropriations for higher education peaked in 2001 – on an inflation- adjusted basis and remain well below that level as of 2018. This is also the case in Virginia. In the U.S., enrollment in public higher education peaked in 2012 and has since declined/plateaued. This is also the case in Virginia, though the enrollment peak came in 2011. In the U.S., student-driven revenues are increasingly the primary source of institutional income. This is also the case in Virginia.

Enrollment at Virginia’s public, four-year institutions has grown significantly since 1992, with some plateauing since roughly 2012. This growth has been experienced differently among the respective institutions, with some seeing declines from peak enrollments while others have grown rapidly. Projections for high school graduates in Virginia is relatively stable in the coming years, indicating the competition for in-state students may intensify. The demographics of Virginia’s public high school graduates anticipates growing Asian and Hispanic/Latinx populations, relative stability among other populations. Virginia’s selective universities are particularly able to attract talented out-of-state students to the commonwealth, which may become an asset should competition for in-state students intensify.
