About 20% of Tsinghua University's huge funds are directly allocated by the state finance, part of which is earned by Tsinghua University's self-reliance, as well as the income from Tsinghua alumni donations and social donations.
The funds of colleges and universities are rising every year, but the degree of increase is different. The disparity of funds between universities is a normal phenomenon, especially between double-class universities and ordinary universities. However, this is not caused by the allocation of funds by the state financial department, but to a large extent, the gap in the independent financing ability of colleges and universities.
According to the Annual Budget of Colleges and Universities Directly under the Ministry of Education, Tsinghua University ranked first again, with a funding as high as 3172.8 million yuan, becoming the only university in China with more than 30 billion yuan. The second-ranked Zhejiang University has an annual budget of 2281600 million, and the third-ranked Peking University has an annual budget of 221340 million. The annual budgets of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Shandong University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology also exceed 654.38+0 billion yuan.
It can be seen that Tsinghua University's annual budget of 31700 million is definitely the highlight of "riding the dust". Does the country favor Tsinghua to give so much money? That's not true. Every year, the direct allocation of state finance only accounts for about 20% of Tsinghua University's funds in that year, and career income and other income are the reasons why Tsinghua University's funds rank first.
The most important business income is scientific research income, and the research projects entrusted to Tsinghua University by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Natural Science Foundation of China have to be paid; Tsinghua University also has laboratories or related projects jointly built by Huawei, Tencent and other enterprises and relevant departments, and these enterprises have to contribute.
Other income mainly refers to alumni donations and social donations, income from the transformation of scientific research achievements and income from affiliated enterprises. Generally, part of the income of the affiliated middle school of Tsinghua University should be given to Tsinghua, with the "great help" of well-known alumni. These are the reasons why Tsinghua University has huge funds.
