UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN as FEC employer text: $7.0 million

Ann Arbor spelled out, not UM or Michigan Medicine

Faculty, staff, health-system employees, and others type UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN in the employer box. LobbyVault ranks that grouped text. The $6,962,522 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not STATE OF MICHIGAN, not U OF M, and not a NAICS colleges rollup.

People who typed MICHIGAN MEDICINE, UMICH, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HOSPITAL, STUDENT, or PROFESSOR without the full campus name sit in other rows if stored that way. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 992 donors unless a receipt still carried UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.

Health-system letterheads that omit UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN sit elsewhere. So does STATE OF MICHIGAN as a government employer. The $6,962,522 total is the campus legal name only.

992 donors and 39,631 lines

992 unique donors produced 39,631 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN contribution lines totaling $6,962,522. That is on the order of 40 itemized receipts per donor. UCLA remains a separate campus acronym with its own page. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a campus-versus-health-system split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any separate university-related committee filings are outside the $6,962,522. Unitemized gifts never appear.

992 unique donors produced 39,631 lines. Repeat itemized gifts explain the ratio. The packet does not publish a medical-center share of those 992 people.

Cornell, MIT, and generic campus titles

CORNELL UNIVERSITY, MIT, UCLA, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, and HARVARD UNIVERSITY are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN would be a researcher-built higher-education recode. This page stays at $6,962,522 for UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the campus. STUDENT, PROFESSOR, PHYSICIAN, and MD remain other industry keys when those words were placed in the employer box.

Do not fold STUDENT or PROFESSOR into UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Those title keys have their own pages. The campus legal name’s $6,962,522 from 992 donors and 39,631 lines is the only total on this guide.

Donor table

The UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a research grant, a federal contract, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the school share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not a registrar or HR export.

Repeat names are expected among 39,631 lines from 992 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the campus string.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN on the table is the campus legal name. STATE OF MICHIGAN employees who typed the state sit on that other key. The $6,962,522 total from 992 donors and 39,631 lines does not include those state-payroll receipts. Alumni who still type the university remain in the 992.
