Capital assets

UC Davis implemented a new accounting standard, Government Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 87, Leases (GASB 87), effective for the University's fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021. This accounting standard provides recognition and measurement standards for financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Similarly, UC Davis also implemented new accounting standard, Government Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (GASB 96), effective for the University's fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022. Under GASB 96, these arrangements result in a right-to-use intangible asset and a corresponding subscription liability. Financial information has been restated to retroactively apply these new accounting standards.

In FY2024, UC Davis has been investing its resources in constructing affordable housing to meet student enrollment increases. Orchard Park opened its doors for the 2023-24 academic year with 1,500 new beds.

Construction also continued at AggieSquare in Sacramento, which will feature state-of-the-art research facilities and modern office and mixed-use space that will connect the university with its neighboring communities.

Other capital projects include enhancing campus safety through investments in upgrading outdoor lighting and building access controls, and the groundbreaking of the UC Davis Health California Tower.

Net capital asset balances were $6.6 billion, $5.8 billion and $5.3 billion as of June 30th for fiscal years FY2024, FY2023, and FY2022 respectively.

Pension

All full-time employees of UC Davis participate in the University of California Retirement System (UCRS) that is centrally administered by the University of California (the University). The UCRS consists of the University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP) and the University of California Retirement Savings Program (UCRSP).

The Regents of the University of California acts as the trustee associated with the UCRP plan. The Office of the Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) acts as the custodian for the UCRS plan. Administrative authority with respect to the UCRS Plans is vested in the President of the University (President) as plan administrator and the President has delegated that authority within UCRS, under University policies and procedures, to the Vice President of Human Resources.

Additional information on the retirement plans can be obtained from the Retirement System Annual Reports website.

Retiree health

The University of California (The University) administers single-employer health and welfare plans to provide health and welfare benefits, primarily medical, dental, and vision benefits, to eligible retirees and their eligible family members of the University of California and its affiliates. The University funds the retiree health benefits through the University of California Retiree Health Benefit Trust (UCRHBT) based on a projection of benefits on pay-as-you-go financing. UCRHBT was established on July 1, 2007 and allows UC Davis to fund retiree health benefits along with other UC campuses and medical centers on a cost-sharing basis and accumulate funds under an arrangement segregated from the University's assets.

The University acts as a third-party administrative agent on behalf of UCRHBT to pay health care insurers and administrators amounts currently due. The Regents of the University of California have the authority to establish and amend benefit plans.

Endowment

Endowment funds are held and administered by either the University of California (the University) or by the campus foundations. The amounts reflected on this page are those administered by the University.

The University's endowment income distribution policies are designed to preserve the value of the endowment in real terms (after inflation) and to generate a predictable stream of spendable income. Endowment investments are managed to achieve the maximum long-term total return.  As a result of this emphasis on total return, the proportion of annual income distribution provided by investment income may vary from year-to-year. The University's policy is to retain the realized and unrealized appreciation with the endowment after the annual income distribution has been made.

The portion of the investment returns earned on endowments held by the University and distributed each year to support current operations of UC Davis is based upon a rate of 4.75 percent (stated in dollars per share). This rate is approved by the Regents of the University of California.
