Does Harvard ever touch their endowment for such things as research? Not sure why we send them anything but they could operate for years off of their endowment. I'm sure they are top heavy and need to cull some things and maybe reduce the scholarships but they will be fine in their liberal little utopia.

Do you know how endowments work? Endowments are funds that are donated to support a predetermined purpose. They can be financial aid, professorships, research initiatives, etc.

The vast majority of endowments are not eligible to support the general operations budget of a school.

As a conservative, I have to admit that this Harvard issue bothers me. You have to understand that the US government started funding research in colleges after WWII. The idea is that the US government can benefit from this cutting edge research. What happens when the US pulls out and the EU or China steps in and funds research at elite private institutions? Is that better? What happens when the next Democratic president pulls LSU's nonprofit status because they don't have a DEI office? Cooler heads need to prevail here.

So, T boy thinks the trade schools in this nation have been treated equally compared to Harvard. As George Orwell said in Animal Farm, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.

Actually, i think that Harvard will outlive Trump. Whatever Trump is doing right now will go away as soon as he does.
