4/23/25                                                                                                                                                                                           Question of the day: Why is Washington (Pols) giving Billions of dollars to colleges who have Billion-dollar endowments and charge incredible tuition? Examples Harvard endowment 50 billion Dollars/tuition around $80000a year; Cornell endowment 20 billion tuitions $70000. I'm sure that their money earned each year from their endowments would pay for all the cost of educating their students. I must be wrong, I'm sure these prestigious schools wouldn't take money from taxpayers that they didn't need. If not, what do they do with all that money?
