Although UVA is the flagship university of Virginia, state funding has decreased for several consecutive decades.<ref name="CDstate">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2014/09/university-braces-for-likely-cuts-in-state-funds|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908093211/http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2014/09/university-braces-for-likely-cuts-in-state-funds|title=University braces for likely cuts in state funds|archive-date=September 8, 2014|website=The Cavalier Daily – University of Virginia's Student Newspaper}}</ref> Financial support from the state dropped by half from 12 percent of total revenue in 2001–02 to six percent in 2013–14.<ref name="CDstate" /> The portion of academic revenue coming from the state fell by even more in the same period, from 22 percent to just nine percent.<ref name="CDstate" /> This nominal support from the state, contributing just $154&nbsp;million of UVA's $2.6&nbsp;billion budget in 2012–13, has led President Sullivan and others to contemplate the partial privatization of the University of Virginia.<ref name="WPpriv">[https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/u-va-should-break-some-ties-with-state-panel-says-in-preliminary-report/2013/09/11/e45cb586-1961-11e3-82ef-a059e54c49d0_story.html U-Va. should break some ties with state, panel says in preliminary report] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908092526/http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/u-va-should-break-some-ties-with-state-panel-says-in-preliminary-report/2013/09/11/e45cb586-1961-11e3-82ef-a059e54c49d0_story.html |date=September 8, 2014 }}, accessed September 8, 2014</ref> UVA's Darden School and Law School are already self-sufficient.

[[Hunter R. Rawlings III]], President of the prominent [[Association of American Universities]] research group of universities, came to Charlottesville to make a speech to university faculty which included a statement about the proposal: "there's no possibility, as far as I can see, that any state will ever relinquish its ownership and governance of its public universities, much less of its flagship research university".<ref name="WPpriv" /> He encouraged university leaders to stop talking about privatization and instead push their state lawmakers to increase funding for higher education and research as a public good.<ref name="WPpriv" />
