At the end of FY 2004, the University held 271 endowments,
up from 255 in FY 2003. Book value of those endowments by end of FY 2004
stands at $66.5 million. Endowments are a critical element in the educational
institution’s vitality and quality. UTHSC-H encourages the establishment
of permanent endowments to recruit, support and encourage faculty and
students, stimulate productive research and build facilities. The UT
System Board of Regents gratefully accepts gifts and approves the establishment
of each endowment at the minimum levels indicated:
The first five categories of endowed
academic positions listed above are held by faculty who are appointed
to these positions by the UT System Board of Regents. The appointee,
or holder, uses the endowment income both for salary supplementation
and for other professional support, including assistance in the holder’s
research.
Fellowships are also established and appointees are
approved by the UT System Board of Regents. Endowment income may be used
to supplement the salary and professional support of a holder. The income
also may be used to provide temporary support, not to exceed one academic
year, of distinguished scholars who are in temporary residence while
participating in planned academic programs; of visiting scholars for
special academic programs or purposes; of component faculty who have
made unique contributions to academic life or to knowledge in their academic
discipline; and of component faculty who have been selected for teaching
excellence.
Scholarships
and support of other educational activities are vital to the success
of an educational institution. These endowments are designated for
specific purposes of interest to donors such as support of specific research,
awards to outstanding teachers or students, scholarships and student
loans and support of specific laboratories, among others.
