Hi, I was wondering if there is a breakdown of the University's spending over recent years, as given the controversial rise in tuition fees it would be interesting to see how these changes has influenced spending proportions, and how much of this is being reinvested into the students (directly and indirectly). 

It woud also be good to see Union Southampton's spending, and the budget this organisation is given from the university (as this reflects spending upon the student body).

If there isn't such a source readily available or easily interpreted I hope one may be provided!

Many thanks for your help :)
