Under a Financial Self-Sufficiency arrangement with the University, the Law School retains 90 percent of the tuition dollars generated by Law School students. Ten percent is remitted to the University for overhead. Additionally, we reimburse the University for specific expenses incurred. This allows the Law School to chart its own course and obtain freedom from the uncertainty of the government budgeting process. It also means private support is more important than ever.
7,483 alumni helped raise
$15.2 million, including $4.2 million in unrestricted funds. More
