About the UCSC budget: Auxiliary enterprises

While important to supporting the campus enterprise - they are not part of the campus's primary budget process. Revenues in this category - housing and dining services, parking, bookstore - are generated by user fees and are used to offset expenses specific to the service, including debt service. Auxiliary Enterprises, because they are self-supporting, reimburse the campus for a full complement of administrative services, including internal audit, police and fire protection, business services, and central administration.
