A Financial Review of The University of North Texas
March 2002
Report Number 02-028
Overall Conclusion
The Legislature and other oversight bodies can rely on the University of North Texas's (University) financial information.
Key Facts and Findings
- The University of North Texas (University) is providing accurate and consistent
financial information to the Legislature, the University's Board of Regents,
and University management.
- The University is using state appropriations and local funds in accordance
with applicable laws and regulations.
- It is difficult to determine the relationship between expenditures and outcomes.
We are giving limited assurance on the alignment between expenditures and
specific strategies because the University's expenditures and outcomes do
not correlate with specific strategies. Instead, the University's expenditures
and outcomes correlate with its state appropriations for Educational and General
State Support.
- The University has identified four performance outcomes that could be improved:
- Administrative cost as a percent of total expenditures.
- Percent of lower division courses taught by tenured faculty
- Retention rate of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking freshmen students after one academic year.
- Percent of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking freshmen who earn a
baccalaureate degree within six academic years.
