Missouri Student Unions Money Matters
FY 2006-07 (actual Fiscal results)
Where does our revenue come from and where does it go?
The Missouri Student Unions budget is a “Financial representation” of its strategic and operational plan.
The next few pages outline the budget — those monies that are received directly from the general operating fund
(GO, state funding), auxiliary enterprises, service operations and student activity fees and how those monies are spent.

OPERATING FUNDS
Total: $2,215,990
The below chart details the various components of
the revenue budget for the Missouri Student Unions. The
bulk of Unions funding comes from student activity
fees (51.7 percent) followed by our allocation of GO
funding from the campus (21.0 percent). The
remainder comes from a variety of sources,
including meeting space rental (to campus and
non-campus customers), rental of operating space
to campus entities, and auxiliary operations. As an
auxiliary operation, T.A. Brady’s Snack, Rack, & Bowl
(which is located at Brady Student Commons),
provides on-campus entertainment for students.
The level of general operating funding to the
Missouri Student Unions has been held constant since
fiscal year 2003-4.

This chart details the different ways in which we
put to use the funds which have been entrusted to
the Missouri Student Unions. The largest portion of our
expenditure budget is spend on the manditory 1%
repair and restoration (27.6 percent). Other expenditures
include general administration, custodial
services, meeting room operations, utilities, auxiliary
cost of operations, and student programming. The
Missouri Student Unions also pays its fair share of institutional
support (the cost of services provided to the
Missouri Student Unions by the University). The Missouri
Unions organization is charged with maintaining
both the Brady Student Commons and the three
sections of the historic Memorial Student Union.
