Harvard endowment is 50 billion plus if memory serves... This might drive the Ivy League back to sanity.

Good luck with that, morons.

The Ivy league schools are all for redistribution of our wealth, but forget about laying a hand on their endowments.

Yea, the solution to overly large and powerful institutions is to have them taken over by an even larger and more powerful organization, with even less oversight. /s

The profs are as insane as the dainty snowflakes they indoctrinate.

I imagine those two professors are better off than most Chicagoans. They should set an example.

These professors should be fired from their jobs and then executed as the threat that they pose to our nation.

Universities are largely bloated over-funded institutions of liberal indoctrination and groupthink. THEY are the only ones who think they don’t have enough money.

I don’t have a dime’s worth of sympathy for them.

There is nothing at all stopping public universities from building endowments. All they have to do is turn out successful and charitable graduates. My old alma mater, LSU, has been quite successful at this. The difficulty that public schools face is that, as they build income from endowments, the politicians reduce their public funding and put it to other uses.

This is what happens when the US Constitution is no longer in effect......teachers disregard it, students were never taught it...politicians abuse it....the King wins!

How about privatizing the public universities instead?

Everybody wants a government job...

A government job, you say?

Just like in the Army, Navy, Marines...

The pay in the army; they say is mighty fine!
They give thirty dollars, and they take back twentynine...

Same for the Marines, then they charge you for uniforms!

They created those who would ‘share the wealth’, so I have no sympathy for them.......................
