Numbers Game: Lawmakers give UF less
By KIM WILMATH, Alligator Staff Writer

It's no secret that Florida's public universities, including UF, are grappling
with massive budget shortfalls.

The state lottery is often touted as a major aid for higher education. The
program, which says it boasts a commitment to education, gave about $1.5
billion to the state Legislature this year. Lawmakers can divide up education
funding any way they want.

The contribution from the state lottery only makes up 6.6 percent of the
state's $23.5 billion education budget.

Additionally, the lottery's yearly contribution to the Legislature makes up 31
percent of the program's total revenue.
