kwaldner, you have to realise that UK universities do not depend on endowment. KCL is one of the Univerisities in the Golden Triangle. The universities in the Golden Triangle (Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, Imperial, LSE and KCL) take a large chunk of government research grant.

Last year, KCL was awarded £135m in research grant by the UK government. That in pounds is already more than UMass expenditure. If converted to dollars, it would be far more.

KCL’s endowment is £103m (rougly $163m), but KCL has access to public funds which Yeshiva does not. The income of its endowment can not match KCL’s access to public funds.

The top UK universities are reasonably well funded.
