UM reports it adds $6B to South Florida economy

The University of Miami reports that it adds $6 billion to the South Florida economy.

That amounts to the same as hosting a Super Bowl every three weeks, The Miami Herald reports.

UM?s economic impact was revealed in a Bendixen Amandi International study that the university commissioned, according to a news release. The group analyzed detailed data provided by the university in various fiscal 2011 financial reports and applied it to an economic input-output model to extrapolate total impact.

The economic impact study comes after UM cut 800 workers at its Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine.

The private, nonprofit university suffered a $240.5 million loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, compared to a profit of $215.5 million in the previous year, according to financial statements released to its bondholders.
