This dovetails with Sundance’s post this morning over at Conservative Treehouse. Brown recently shutdown their CCTV in response the leftist complaints. He noted how a college town like Providence would provide cover for Brown’s malfeasance given Brown’s $8B endowment.

How does a college endowment fund balance affect the municipality? I would expect that the school pays no real estate taxes, or sales taxes, or income taxes, so why would the city care?

(my emphasis above)

To CORRECT your misinformation: The article at CT **does not** say that Brown shut down their CCTV - it merely poses the question of “DID THEY do so?” !!

Quoting from the article: “The question is really a simple one. Did Brown University follow the requests of the hardline leftist groups who asked the school to disable the functioning of their surveillance network in order to protect the identity of the students on campus?”

Here’s the article: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/12/17/brown-university-received-a-letter-from-34-human-rights-groups-in-august-requesting-they-disable-their-cctv-system/#more-278883
