Under the Universities Act 1997, it is the function of the governing authority to manage and control the affairs of the institution, including matters relating to the financial projections of the institution.

As autonomous bodies, the internal disbursement of this funding is a matter for the individual institution and questions related to those matters may best be addressed by them.
