Numbers, Numbers

The Bruin has an article on losses of the UC system and UCLA due to the coronavirus, with figures derived from data given to the Regents. The article contains a chart reproduced below. As we have noted in prior posts, it is unclear what the numbers mean. Note that the UC campus numbers in the pie chart don't add up to the total in the bar chart, possibly due to rounding of the UCLA numbers. More importantly, are the figures gross or net of federal aid funds that have been received? Are there still federal aid funds pending? Are there still potential federal funds that could be tapped? Presumably, reserves are being tapped. What were those reserves before? How much is left?
