A senior official at a major research university once told me the first report he looked at in the morning was the hospital patient census from the prior day. For most major research universities undergrad teaching doesn't row the boat
UVA has been eaten by its medical center. Just messing around with historical budgets and here’s a draft of one plot. The medical center is now roughly 61.5% of total budget: UVA Academic Division vs. Medical Center Inflation-Adjusted Operating Budgets
