At the institutions, I was affiliated in fact it isn't. Most paychecks get covered by research grants. It is usually events, and perhaps minor constructions that get covered by tuition. The main input streams are from donations, fund raising and grants. For public ones, there is also the public/state expenditure, but I think that stream, can not support top institutions. Tuition can be pocket money for a lot of institutions.
