Talk:Ohio University

Endowment

It appears that there is some disagreement as to what Ohio University's endowment figures are.

The Board document that is currently cited [1] shows "The University and Foundation currently hold investments with a total market value of $1.2 billion." However, not all investments are permanently endowed.[2]

Multiple parts of the cited document (pages 234, 240, 241) show the "endowment market value" of $650.2 million at the end of FY22. This matches up with endowment figures in citations for other universities that report figures to the National Association of College and University Business Officers. [3] Note that the $746,956k figure reported by NACUBO matches the $747.0 million figure on page 240 in the Board document. This $747.0 million figure (2021) is updated to $650.2 million in 2022. When the NACUBO reports FY22 endowments, they will report $650.2 million.

The $1.2 billion number is not the university's endowment, it is the market value of their investments. Hope this clears up any confusion! SkiesWillReign (talk) 02:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

https://catmailohio.sharepoint.com/ is a private site, not publicly accessible, so cannot be used as a source for figures here. General Ization ^Talk 02:47, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment! It looks like your reversion linked the source to the sharepoint site, so I've corrected the figures and citation to the NACUBO figures. The sharepoint website is directly linked to from the Board of Trustees website for future reference and discussion.[4] SkiesWillReign (talk) 02:59, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I didn't note that the content before your edit also sourced a document hosted at catmailohio.sharepoint.com, though that agenda appears to be publicly accessible. The NACUBO site is probably a better source. General Ization ^Talk 03:02, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

User:Jams18, the information above provides additional context to the $1.2 billion figure and why this number is either inaccurate (if referring to total investments) or unsourced (otherwise). The $747.0 million 2021 figure, while more outdated than $650.2 million (2022), is reliably sourced through the NACUBO report. SkiesWillReign (talk) 14:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
