TOTAL ACADEMIC EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES 72 OPERATING REVENUES: PUBLIC DOCTORAL INSTITUTIONS For the past three decades, state and local funds have constituted a large and stable share of public doctoral institution revenues, with a 39 percent share during the late-1988s. The federal government share has declined steadily for the past two decades, from 20 percent in 1968 to 12 percent in 1988. The revenue share from tuition has been stable at around 11 percent over the three-decade period; private contributions and endowment income together have averaged about 5 percent. Other revenues sourcesâhospitals, auxiliary enterprises and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs)âhave maintained a relatively steady 30-percent share.
