The document discusses the financing mechanisms at the University of Maribor. It outlines how the university moved from a system where faculties were financed independently to an integrated model where public funds are managed collectively at the university level. Key aspects of the new financing system include basing funds on total student numbers and degrees awarded rather than individual faculty budgets. The university also established financial management rules and standards to facilitate oversight and allocation of funds between faculties in a transparent manner.
