Sick.

Harvard’s endowment’s earnings are sufficient to make the place 100% tuition free.

Harvard is ripping off their students (in many ways).

“Harvard is ripping off their students (in many ways).”

Harvard isn’t alone. Virtually all of the “Ivy League schools” have endowments that would allow for free tuition. We would be “debt free” if I had not allowed our last child to go to Boston University to graduate Magna Cum Laude in “Performance Music!” She now works for a contacting firm for $60k an year as HR manager, as we continue to pay on our mortgage that was the locus of the $200k her education cost.

Especially since most of these ahole actors didn’t even pass high school.

Most Universities are criminal enterprises that collude with government and rip off kids with debt and useless degrees. They expand in obscene fashion as the endowments and investments swell. Student loan debt is a bubble ready to burst. College as an institution is a racket that is not providing America with the future workforce needed so that is why we import people.

BTW,I know many who worked through school and have ZERO debt with a MARKETABLE degree. It is disgusting that Bernie Sander's support was mostly the Millennial Stupid Generation of people who think their debt will magically disappear. I guarantee this will come back next election.

Yeah, funny isn’t it how little of that actually goes to deserving, merit-based students? Instead the greedy jerks in the administration want more and more for themselves and their cronies

Or they piss some of it away with “diversity scholarships” and faculty tokens
