Without addressing the merits, or demerits, of green energy, why are universities making ‘investments’ in anything? Seems to me it they’ve got that much extra money they should lower tuition or modernize the library or some buildings.

If it were me writing the check for tuition and learned some of it was being used for ‘green investments’ that Valerie Jarrett is championing, I’d be mighty...upset.

"Green" is how taxpayer money gets funneled to universities, which in turn generate studies that promote green alarmism, which generates more money which is funneled to universities, that in turn generate....

And the economy/middle class is squeezed by higher taxes, regulations and lawsuit abuse.

Harvard is sitting on something like $30 billion in investments. The Texas university system has so much gold that Texas is going to build a storage facility for it. It’s amazing the colleges are being starved for funds, just ask a Democrat.
