Potential huge windfall for UW

I wonder how much UW received in the settlement of a similar lawsuit against Intel.

$110 million out of court.

Will this settlement help with the budget cuts/shortfall, or will it go into another pot?

It would go to WARF which is an independent funding arm for UW Madison. WARF distributes substantial amounts to support UW faculty etc. Very good thing. http://www.warf.org/
