【答案解析】According to the graph, it is apparent that revenue from government funding increased between 1980 and 1990. However, in 1980, revenue from government funding was greater than revenue from tuition, but in 1990 revenue from government funding was less than revenue from tuition. Thus, between 1980 and 1990, the proportion of total revenue that came from government funding decreased.
