Because Connecticut’s unfunded pension costs are among the nation’s highest – and UConn has paid tens of millions of dollars annually toward them – UConn’s financial resources number and rank in the IPEDS were higher in FY15 and FY16. However, U.S. News last year directed universities to identify how much of their IPEDS figures represented the unfunded pension liability, changing its methodology so those costs would not be considered in the per-student spending tally used in the rankings.
