Each institution in the USHE except the Utah College of Applied Technology has a separate line item for appropriated funds entitled Education and General (E&G). This line item is an institution's main line item, where most, if not all, of its instruction is funded.

$76,200$0General Fund
The State Auditor requests a reduction of $712,500 from General Fund revenue and an increase of the same amount to Dedicated Credit revenue. This change would shift the billing for audit services directly to colleges and universities. The corresponding increase in GF appropriations to higher education could be reduced to $404,000, with the expectation that the difference could made up in tuition (43.4% of Higher Education funding is from Dedicated Credits).
