• Available University Fund (AUF): the spendable portion of the Permanent Uni-
versity Fund (PUF), a public endowment that provides financial support to insti-
tutions in The University of Texas and Texas A&M University systems. The PUF
was established in 1876 by the Texas Constitution, and the income is derived
from revenue generated by West Texas land provided by the state as a financial
investment in higher education. Proceeds result from oil, gas, sulfur, and water
royalties, rentals on mineral and grazing leases, and gains on investments. The
distributed investment income from the corpus of the PUF comprises the Avail-
able University Fund.
