Financial Analysis of the Top Public Universities in Taiwan
作者 林宜樺許添明 (Tian-Ming Sheu)
中文摘要
我國公立大學實施校務基金目的係為提升自籌財源與吸收社會資源成效,其中又以公立頂尖大學的財務運作備受關注。基於各公立頂尖大學在學術領域、政府政策期待與經費挹注的差異,本研究區分為國立臺灣大學、綜合型頂尖大學I(國立成功大學、國立清華大學、國立交通大學)、綜合型頂尖大學II(國立中央大學、國立中興大學、國立中山大學)與文法商頂尖大學(國立政治大學、國立臺灣師範大學)等四類,透過次級資料研究法,以各公立頂尖大學「2016年至2019年」決算進行跨類型分析比較,有助於彼此尋求更佳的財務運作方式。研究發現:一、公立頂尖大學自籌收入逐年提升,政府專案補助仍持續增加;二、理工醫為重的公立頂尖大學更有利發展建教合作,惟主要來源是政府;三、文法商頂尖大學善於結合特長經營在職專班,提高學雜費收入;四、文法商頂尖大學善用軟、硬體資源增加場地設備管理與推廣教育收入有成;五、國立臺灣大學與綜合型頂尖大學I更積極經營受贈收入與投資取得收益;六、自籌收入受學術領域、地理位置、經營策略影響,更與善用優勢特性有關。最後,並依據研究結果提出對我國政府與公立頂尖大學財務運作之建議。
英文摘要

1. Research Motivation and Purpose

Public universities in Taiwan have implemented endowment funds for more than 20 years. The main purpose of endowment funds is not only to relieve the government’s increasing financial burden but also to promote the universities’ ability to raise self-generated income and access social resources, which gradually facilitates the independent operations of university finances. As the top public universities in Taiwan strive to become world-class universities, the government has invested funds to finance their development and enhance their competitiveness. In addition, these universities implemented the endowment fund system and practiced financial autonomy early on. Therefore, whether the financial operations of these universities have fulfilled the expected policy objectives is of particular concern.

2. Literature Review

In the context of global higher education, the financial operations of countries have expanded, with rising costs in recent years. However, economic recession has caused the government to drastically cut funding for higher education universities. Consequently, to reduce internal operating costs, universities have been required to seek funding from the private sector and increase self-generated income through various means. Based on the universities’ self-generated income, the private sector and the government jointly provide funds in a fixed ratio; earn revenue through the diversified operation of hospitals, dormitories, sports fields, restaurants, bookstores, and other affiliated institutions; increase revenue through publishing royalties, examinations, business consulting services, and provision of online courses and selling of textbooks; increase tuition and miscellaneous fees to balance university costs; effectively utilize the universities’ academic research resources to implement brand management strategies for obtaining external capital; reinvest endowment funds; and other measures. Although public universities can undertake a wide range of projects for rains endowment funds, they are yet to attain financial independence because public universities still mainly rely on government subsidies, the standard of charging tuition and fees is strictly controlled, and donations or investments are not actively institutionalized, resulting in ineffective outcomes. Many such practices still need to be improved for universities to achieve financial independence.

3. Research Methods

Based on the differences in the development priorities of the top public universities in the academic field, the policy expectations, and the funding provided by the government, in this study, the top public universities were divided into four categories: National Taiwan University, comprehensive type I (National Cheng-Kung University, National Tsin-Hua University, and National Chioa-Tung University), comprehensive type II (National Central University, National Chung-Hsing University, and National Sun-Yat-sen University), and social science and business type (National Cheng-chi University and National Normal University). Through secondary data analysis, the items covered by the National University Endowment Fund Establishment Act were analyzed, including the government’s normal budget appropriations; universities’ self-generated income from tuition and other fees, continuing education, and academia-industry cooperation; government subsidies for scientific research or government commissions; site facility management income; and donation income and investment income. Cross-type analysis was conducted by reviewing the final accounts of top public universities from 2016 to 2019 and by comparing them with relevant government statistics and official reports. The results obtained are expected to assist top public universities in improving their financial operations.

4. Research Results

The purpose of the current study is to explore the effectiveness of the financial operations of top public universities through financial analysis. The following results are obtained: (1) The self-generated income of top public universities has increased every year, and the government subsidy also continues to increase; (2) top public universities with science, technology, and medicine as their main discipline cluster exhibit higher contributions to the development of academia-industry cooperation, but the government remains their main source of investment, with an extremely low rate of private sector investment; (3) top public universities of the social science and business type are more adept at increasing income from tuition and fees by using their in-service master’s program operation; (4) universities of the social science and business type efficiently utilize the school’s assets and implement continuing education to increase revenue; (5) National Taiwan University and comprehensive type I universities exhibit more active ability for donations and investment management; and (6) academic fields, regional factors, and business strategies affect the quantity of self-generated income, especially depending on whether universities can efficiently utilize their own resources. The results are expected to help top public universities improve their future financial operations as well as enhance the government’s research and development for formulating more effective higher education funding policies. Especially allow top public universities to directly correspond to reference operations.

5. Research Suggestions

According to the study results, the following policy recommendations for financial operations are proposed for the government and top public universities from a practical perspective: (1) Top public universities should efficiently increase student enrollment into academic courses to increase their income from tuition and miscellaneous fees. Moreover, the government should relax the standards and conditions for tuition and miscellaneous fees to facilitate financial autonomy of the school fund. (2) Top public universities should increase the industrial applicability of the research results and aim to obtain a greater proportion of private sector funding. (3) Top public universities should more actively develop diversified business strategies based on school attributes. (4) Top public universities should prioritize fundraising and investments and obtain incentives; this financial independence should improve their resilience. For future research, the government should expand on the current “public platform for college affairs information” and comprehensively collect and release the relevant financial data of each university to facilitate analysis in combination with other university affairs data and to elucidate the factors influencing university financial operations. In addition to data analysis, future research should qualitatively analyze business perspectives, organizational culture, decision-making processes, and other business strategies by examining actual cases.
