TOTAL ACADEMIC EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES 68 DOCTORAL INSTITUTION EXPENDITURES: PER FACULTY AND STUDENT While growth in doctoral institution faculty and enrollments have slowed during the past decade, total expenditures of doctoral institutions have continued to rise. From 1978 to 1988, accounting for inflation, operational expenditures per faculty member have risen by more than 40 percent, reaching $260,000 in 1988. Education expenditures per student rose more than 30 percent between 1978 and 1988, reaching $9,500 in 1988.

DEFINITION OF TERMS: Doctoral institutions are higher education institutions that have granted an average of 10 or more Ph.D. degrees per year in the natural sciences or engineering over the past two decades; they include 116 public and 69 private institutions. Operating Expenditures consist of educational and general current-fund expenditures for instruction, research, public service, academic support, student services, institutional support, operation and maintenance of plant, scholarships and fellowships, and educational and mandatory transfers for debt service, and for auxiliary enterprises and federally funded research and development centers. They exclude expenditures from institutional plant-fund accounts and Pell Grants.
