Expense - Other Self Supporting Enterprises

This subcategory includes activities that were established primarily to provide goods and services to other internal units on a fee for service basis. The following characteristics assist in identifying these units:

• They are self-supporting units that operate on a break-even basis for those goods and services offered to other units.
• They could provide, to a lesser extent, the same goods and services to faculty, staff, students, and related entities.
• The goods and services are provided at an institutional level. This characteristic excludes enterprises that only serve units within the same department. For example, a telecommunications department that services the entire institution would be considered other self-supporting while the chemistry stores department that only services other chemistry units would be reported net within academic support under functional expense reporting.
