Out of curiosity, can you provide a source for the 5% figure? I’ve never heard that term before.

Note the link to the UC Endowment report I sent, <a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/treasurer/foundation/foundation.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/treasurer/foundation/foundation.pdf&lt;/a&gt;

VII. Endowment Spending Policies</p>

<p>Berkeley:
Range of 4.75% to 5.5% of the 12-quarter moving average market value of the endowment for a specifi c payout year. In fiscal year 2008-09, the actual payout rate is 4.76%.

Other UCs are slightly different, but all around 5%. I believe this is standard for other universities as well.</p>

All these state schools have a lot more faculty members that they have to pay and a lot more facilities to maintain with their money.

Uh huh…and that’s why UC manages numerous funds in addition to the Endowment funds:
[University</a> of California Treasurer of The Regents](<a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/treasurer/]University”>http://www.ucop.edu/treasurer/)

The Treasurer’s Office is responsible for managing the investments and cash of the University of California system. The Treasurer’s Office currently manages a portfolio of retirement and endowment funds totaling approximately $69 billion.
