4. 4 https://idm.utsystem.edu/downloads/APAN-UTsys-June07.ppt Who we are (cont) Nine academic universities Six health institutions $10 Billion Operating Budget (FY 2007) $1.7 Billion in research More than 80,000 employees More than 190,000 students enrolled Educates more than one-third of the state’s undergraduates Educates nearly three-fourths of the state’s health professionals

5. 5 https://idm.utsystem.edu/downloads/APAN-UTsys-June07.ppt A Chronology of IdM in the U.T.
