There are three ways to view Millersville's financial resources. Perhaps the best known is the Educational & General (E&G) fund, those resources that the University has control over allocating. The current unrestricted fund includes E&G funds plus funds from auxiliary enterprises (Dining Services, Resident Life, and the Student Memorial Center) that can only be used to support those enterprises. The total current fund is all University funds, including the current unrestricted fund plus restricted funds, such as gifts and grants. Table 11-1 shows sources and uses of the total current fund over the past five years.
