I found this piece from the report to be be quite interesting.

"Information gathered indicates that UL has $129.6 million in deferred maintenance needs and the UL System has needs totaling $505 million. Alas, the prospects for state funding of these needs are not good. Since 1993-1994, only $58.7 million in state funding has been allocated for that purpose in the entire System."

This state has consistently ignored the need to provide adequate maintenance funding in virtually every area of operation. And when I say state, I am not just referring to state government. I also mean local and municipal governments as well. I find the fact that during the course of about 14 years, the state has allocated A TOTAL of less than half of the funding needed at just one institution to be extremely negligent. And for our university to account for over a quarter of that unmet need is unacceptable! Well, thank goodness our state has it's priorities straight - make sure that we fund the flagship's French House as the No. 1 priority!
