Check this out. From this link, on the chancellor...

Mark Stephen Wrighton Chancellor, Washington University in St. Louis

... The University's total operating budget is $1.8 billion, and its $5.7 billion endowment places it among the top private universities in the United States.

Some of these institutions are sitting on some major bucks...

“Some of these institutions are sitting on some major[tax free] bucks...”
they are indeed, but yet they have no problem in charging outrageous prices....here’s the breakdown on Washington University’s costs.

and so Mom and Dad, that Women’s Studies degree for your daughter is gonna run you right at $200,000....plus you get to go to graduation and see it spoiled by a bunch of rude punkass ingrates.

Sen Grassley[R.Iowa]wants these schools to start spreading the dough around more or lose their tax exempt status...I think he’s right.
