The explosion of anti-Semitism on Ivy League campuses has sparked serious backlash. Donors are holding on to their money, early applications are down, and Dave Portnoy has vowed not to hire anyone from Harvard, MIT or Penn.
It also has shown the President Claudine Gay to be the classic DEI hire- a serial plagiarist protected by the Harvard Corporation. Gay survives what would get a Harvard student expelled promptly.
The widespread Ivy League anti-Semitism begs a question-why the hell are taxpayers funding this?
Why are taxpayers funding them at all?
The Ivies are endowed with mind-boggling amounts of money
Here are the new endowments by school: Harvard ($53.2 billion), Yale ($42.3 billion), Princeton ($37.7 billion), UPENN ($20.5 billion), Columbia ($13.5 billion), Cornell ($10 billion), Dartmouth ($8.5 billion), and Brown ($6.9 billion). Harvard's endowment now stands at over $10 million per undergraduate student.Despite these massive fortunes, taxpayers are still coughing up handouts for the Ivy League- obscene amounts of money.
Since 2018, $33 billion of federal contracts and grants flowed to these ten colleges – averaging $6.6 billion annually.$33 BILLION
Most of that money is doled out in the form of grants-which means the schools are beneficiaries of the profits derived from them and not you and me.
Most of the funds – roughly $29 billion (88-percent) versus $4 billion (12-percent) – were provided by the feds via grants, not contracts. Grants are giveaways and, typically, the recipient university owns the work product — meaning they profit from the resulting intellectual property. Contracts are for work done on behalf of a federal agency – taxpayers own the output.The projects are often quite dubious

Defund all leftist universities, pronto!
Taxpayers, and billionaire Jewish donors (the same ones now curbing their donations) have been funding anti-white racism for many years now. No one ever had a problem with that.
Anytime a Leftist retires from, gets fired from, or has to resign from the government, they get a cushy no-show job at an ivy league university. That’s the point of financing them, so they have the money to serve the party. The universities are maintained as a way to get rid of people who might otherwise prove problematic if they weren’t bought off.
Those grants led to all the advances in treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc, etc, for over seventy years!!!
Keep them coming, for our own good!
Lord have Mercy!
along with 90% of industry/institutions/billionaires/wealthiest men ever (the same ones hardly curbing anything). No one seems to have a problem with that.

The govt. should not be subsidizing anything.
I’ve been asking for a few decades why are we subsidizing marxist indoctrination.
