Looking into UC Statistics from your link gives an interesting insight.
I came away with the numbers 232k employees with earnings in 2021.

And Fall 2021 has student enrollment at 294,662.

Some quick caveats, the employee count is for a year, and the UC system has about an 8% separation rate. The employee count also includes 29k student employees. Even so, that feels like way too many employees to service that student count, a bulk of which are listed as non-student professional and support staff.
- milesskorpen 4y agoNote that these employee counts probably include whole hospital staffs (since teaching hospitals / academic medical centers are frequently part of universities).
- frumper 4y agoYes, that is a good point. Staff employed by the hospitals are included. UC Davis alone is more than 10 thousand employees. I'd imagine a few of the other UC hospitals are also significant portions of that support staff.
