So...Liberals are forcing farmers off their fields, leaving them - what? Starvation? Re-education so they will learn to accept their new lot in life? I’m guessing there will be no campus protests since Republicans aren’t responsible.
“Harvard’s endowment tumbled 27.3 percent in its latest fiscal year, largely because of problems with its private equity and hedge fund portfolios, lopping off $10 billion and shrinking its portfolio to $26 billion. Taking into consideration donations and spending, the endowment shrank by nearly 30 percent.
Yale also suffered about a 30 percent loss in its endowment, to about $16 billion, the university’s president disclosed in a letter Thursday, adding that final figures on performance were still being compiled.
“We want to alert you to the fact that another round of reductions will be necessary,” Yale’s president, Richard C. Levin, wrote in what he called a budget update to the Yale community praising the cost-cutting that had already occurred.
A year earlier, Harvard’s endowment had approached $37 billion, while Yale’s endowment had been $23 billion.”
