UK certainly is. State funding is at 8% and dropping. UK's enrollment is rapidly increasing and is accommodated by new construction in the last 10 years of new dorms, classroom buildings and research facilities. The new enrollment figures include many students from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and the Northeast, heavily populated areas that have lots of affluent kids who want to go to school out of state.
