"How dependent is the UC system on federal funding?
Very dependent.
The UC’s total budget generally runs well over $20 billion, but several billion of that comes directly from the federal government.
“Federal funds are the university’s single most important source of support for research, generating $2.8 billion and accounting for nearly 51% of all university research expenditures in 2013-14,” according to a UC report. “While UC researchers receive support from virtually all federal agencies, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation are the two largest sponsors, accounting for nearly 80% of UC’s federal research contract and grant awards.”
UC, for example, manages the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which gets more than $700 million in federal funds, that report said.
How hard would it be to actually cut federal funds from UC Berkeley?
It’s hard to know whether Trump’s tweet was actually suggesting a policy change or simply commenting on the protests at Berkeley.
But it would likely be hard to segregate much of federal funding from just one university given that it involves programs that provide money to many different institutions and activities.
As for federal student aid, UC got more than $1.6 billion in 2014. The UC’s medical facilities got $2.8 billion in federal money."
