The University of Nebraska Board of Regents has set UNMC’s total 2009-10 revenue and expense budget at $534.7 million, an increase of 4.5 percent over the previous year.
Most of the growth was funded by new revenues that are dedicated to specific purposes and are not available for general salaries and operations.
Examples of this new funding include:
- The College of Nursing — Norfolk Division;
- LB 603A Behavioral Health;
- New building operations for the Colleges of Public Health and the College of Nursing; and
- Special tuition increases that will fund additional faculty and improve educational programs in the colleges of dentistry, nursing and pharmacy and in the School of Allied Health Professions.
