Where Your Dollars to Vassar Go

1	Compensation	65%
2	Plant Renewal	2%
3	Other	3%
4	Operating Expenses	30%

Vassar’s operating expenses are very much concentrated on people, with compensation (including wages and benefits) accounting for nearly two-thirds of all expenditures for current use during fiscal year 2006–07. A relatively small but crucial 2 percent was allocated toward the constant renewal of the College’s technological, architectural and landscape resources, including our venerable academic and residential buildings and the uncommonly beautiful landscape that make the Vassar campus such a uniquely hospitable setting for a learning community. Operating expenses comprise the final 30% of the total budget.
