"I may be wrong, but my understanding is that all funds that come to NCSU (regardless of where they come from and including student fees and some types of grants) belong to the state."

pretty sure you're wrong on that one.

I'm just wondering what the breakdown is as far as how much of their money for expenses comes from tuition, how much from donations, and how much from the state itself. Stuff that isn't already covered by the fees they charge on top of tuition. I guess that would be the source of the funding for the non-discretionary spending used to run the university (which I assume is made up from tuition, money from the state, and donations from alumni).
