[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way the Commonwealth would let these schools go private, nothing to gain.  I am surprised at the 6% funding number.  I would have guessed it was in the 20% range.[/quote]

It's now less than 6% from the Commonwealth.  From wiki

"As of 2013, UVA's $1.4 billion academic budget is paid for primarily by tuition and fees (32%), research grants (23%), endowment and gifts (19%), and sales and services (12%).[100] The university receives 10% of its academic funds through state appropriation from the Commonwealth of Virginia.[100] For the overall (including non-academic) university budget of $2.6 billion, 45% comes from medical patient revenue.[100] The Commonwealth contributes less than 6%.[100]
Although UVA is the flagship university of Virginia, state funding has decreased for several consecutive decades.[51] Financial support from the state dropped by half from 12 percent of total revenue in 2001–02 to six percent in 2013–14.[51] The portion of academic revenue coming from the state fell by even more in the same period, from 22 percent to just nine percent.[51] This nominal support from the state, contributing just $154 million of UVA's $2.6 billion budget in 2012–13, has led President Sullivan and others to contemplate the partial privatization of the University of Virginia.[101] UVA's Darden School and Law School are already self-sufficient."[/quote]
