That is a very small legal technicality set-up to benefit the Hospitals that many schools followed. It is still the UW teaching hospital and their endowment is in the UW Foundation. To say the Hospitals are not part of the UW is like saying WARF is not a part. I left it out because all the operating revenue and expenses inflate the numbers too much and make it hard to see what is going on in educational operations. It might be the model for taking the rest of the UW into a better structure than the System.

And none of those admin nickels and dimes are the answer to the fundamental funding issues of the UW. Nice wallpaper over the issue but no solutions will come from that. They need $100 million answers not $5 million.
