That is misleading because they are counting their hospital’s revenue in the pie. That only matters if the hospitals are generating profits the rest of the university can use. Otherwise, the hospital is revenue coming in and costs being spent with no relation to the education arm of the system.

The hospital does account for ~33% of revenues[0], but the Med School and the Hospital also account for ~55% of total expenses[1] so it doesn't seem entirely unfair to include them in the revenue stream.

Didn't realize how close the UCs were to being essentially private universities these days. No wonder they're targeting higher percentages of out of state enrollments.

But still not as much as private ones. Even the highest, Berkeley and UCLA, have about 21-22% of OOS and international students. The remaining UCs have less than 20%.

Thanks for the numbers. I was a bit skeptical but I found sources:

- student tuition and fees, 10.8% - state educational appropriations, 7.2%

Thanks, I stand corrected.
