Those campus riots at Columbia you see on TV over the Israel-Palestine conflict are at the elite colleges we taxpayers, state and federal subsidize in amounts far more than the tuition these spoiled kids' parents pay.

Someone has to fund the dims and the destruction of America?

What blows my mind is that the universities will not touch their bloated endowments to cover shortfalls in operating budgets or even to make capital investments. This is made up with mainly government money, specific gifts from alumni, corporate partnerships

These places have turned into giant hedge-funds with leftist schools attached to them.

[Round Earther]

Those universities did not tax you, your elected officials taxed you.

No one gives tenure to a professor, if he/she doesn’t bring grants to the “educational” establishment. Most of them don’t even like/want to teach.

Universities that have these protests and refuse to stop them should get nothing

Since 2018, $33 billion of federal contracts and grants flowed to these ten colleges – averaging $6.6 billion annually.

Usually, they have a purpose behind them. For example, they may go towards DEI initiatives. Which is why we've witnessed Claudine Gay becoming the President of Harvard University. Not saying that this is the case, but it makes you wonder...

To them, you are a serf who needs to be taxed. Yes, you might have at one time entered their institutions if you were smart enough, and were willing to play the game. But now only certain kids from rich families can go to the institution, learn the jargon, the secret hand signs, the proper attitudes. The institution has reverted to its aristocratic ways, favoring the elect children of certain families who will be the new generation of secret and not so secret rulers. It is the gatekeeper and social club that marks you and gives you entry to a world of new leaders. There you can make connections for the future. The egalitarians days are over.

Their $33 billion in federal contracts and grants outpaced their collection of undergraduate student tuition.

Furthermore, these schools reaped another $12 billion in special tax treatment benefits on the growth of their massive endowment gains (2018-2022). Endowments totaled $237 billion in 2022, up almost $65 billion from $172 billion in 2018.

Dear GOPers in Congress, you thus have yet another BIG ISSUE should you choose to take it up.

Elections have consequences(shame on you)

Stolen elections steal your voice(shame on me)

Federal grants and contracts make graduate education and research possible.

That includes, for example, research that led to all those new cancer treatments.

For example:

Few taxpayers would vote to curtail this!

[Gay State Conservative]

I spent decades at one Harvard Medical School's largest teaching hospitals. The medical school,and its teaching hospitals,get billions of dollars in research money each year.In fact,when I was there more medical research money flowed into Boston than into any other city on earth.

Some of the money is from private organizations (e.g., The American Cancer Society) and some (much,in fact) is from governments...mainly the US Government.

Of course in recent years a lot of government $$$ has gone to major medical schools for research on "gender affirming care" and other Maoist cr@p. But a lot of it *is* for things like cancer...heart disease...Alzheimer's Disease...and other worthy pursuits.
