Missouri Student Unions Money Matters
FY 2007-08 (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.

The below chart details the various components of
the revenue budget for the Missouri Student Unions.
The bulk of Student Unions funding comes from
student activity fees (51.7 percent) followed by our
allocation of GO funding from the campus (20.1
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 (25.4 percent). Other
expenditures include general administration,
custodial services, meeting room operations,
utilities, auxiliary cost of operations, and student
programming. The Student Unions also pays its fair
share of institutional support (the cost of services
provided to the Student Unions by the University).
The Student Unions organization is charged with
maintaining both the Brady Student Commons and
the three sections of the historic Memorial Union.
