TOTAL ACADEMIC EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES 71 OPERATING REVENUES: PRIVATE DOCTORAL INSTITUTIONS For the past three decades, student tuition and fees have constituted a steadily growing share of private doctoral institution revenues, increasing from 18 percent in 1958 to 26 percent in 1988. The federal share nearly doubled during the 1960s, from 17 percent in 1958 to over 32 percent in 1966, then declined steadily for the past two decades, down to 16 percent in 1988. The shares of private contributions and endowment income have been relatively stable at 9 percent and 6 percent, respectively. The share from other revenues sourcesâhospitals, auxiliary enterprises and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs)âdeclined from 39 percent in 1958 to 30 percent in 1968, then returned to a 40 percent by 1988.
