The charts below show the proportion of income spent on different areas by one university in 2005 and 2015.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features. Make comparisons where relevant.
The pie charts show how one university spent its revenue in 2015 compared to 2005, giving the percentages spent in six different
areas
of its operation. By far, the most significant outlay by the university in both years was on Teaching and research, and
this
held fairly steady at approximately half the
overall
expenditure (53% in 2005 and 48% in 2015).
However
, there were relevant changes across the decade in the proportion of spending in all other
areas
. The most noteworthy difference was in the portion spent on Administration and management which experienced a dramatic rise with a jump from 6% in 2005 to 16% in 2015. Other
areas
which saw growth in terms of percentage were Maintaining campuses (from 10% to 15%) and Financial support for students, which, though it started from the lowest base (5%) in 2005, outstripped spending on Libraries and accounted for 8% of total spending in 2015. Two other
areas
saw a drop in spending in percentage terms: Libraries and Accommodation, which both saw a halving of their spending, to 5% and 8% respectively.
