Summary of UD finances

 

The provided tables delineate the financial performance of the University of Delaware across various sectors, including Operating Revenue & Expenses, Capital Funding & Expenditures, and Endowment & Pooled Investment Portfolio for the fiscal years spanning from 2017 to 2023. Additionally, the budget for the fiscal year 2024, approved by the Board of Trustees on May 5, 2023, is presented. Notably, the final ramifications of compensation adjustments due to factors such as new hires, union negotiations, reclassifications and ongoing market fluctuations are yet to be fully determined. These factors will inevitably influence the University’s financial standing during fiscal year 2024.
