Given what the high church of Academia does in this state, and some other research into both union and education-oriented organizations, I'd say their DOWN a couple percent from some of their peers.

Team Sergeant, this stat surprises me not in the slightest and is likely present in many states' university systems.
(During the recall their spending for the challenger to Gov. Walker - who'd already lost once but, hey, everyone can be a winner, right? - was 20:1.)

Anyone who thinks that doesn't ultimately translate into the classroom skewed in some fashion has, in my view, been living in the desert with that one old geezer between Sierra Vista and Tombstone they tell everyone to stay away from.

Organizations such as the NRA have nothing on these people in terms of the ability to raise money in order to either prevent upsetting their apple cart or perpetuate their self-image. There are, of course, exceptions. Apparently all 4% of them.
