Numbers. Just got these. Overall basically status quo for this year. Total spending for instruction virtually unchanged (less than a +million). Total academic spending before debt service. $1,664 million vs $1,675 million in 2010-11 or down less than 1%.
Interesting item–state funding fell from $476.5 million to $412.3 million. Tuition income rose from $400.6 million to $429.1 million and now for the first time ever exceeds state funding. This is why UW Madison is fighting for more freedom from the state controls. Of the total budget which excludes the UW hospitals 15.3% now comes from the state. UW Hospitals run without significant state funding and use patient income for main revenue.

Any additional cuts to come would change these numbers.
