Revisiting: More Tuition, But Less Teaching

We are not the only ones talking about how tuition rises while instruction suffers. Here is an interesting blog discussion of the problem as it afflicts undergraduate education. Note the question whether "costs can be controlled by stripping away all the ancillary stuff - the health centers, the multi-cultural institutes, the student life programming. Tuition in this model would be used for basically one thing: to provide instruction." I was arguing that the first priority of tuition for medical school is also to "support instruction." However, does anyone know how much of the medical schools' budgets go for such ancillaries? Or how much goes for instruction? I have never seen the former addressed. There is suggestive data that the answer to the latter is not as much as you would expect.
