Rutgers Cracks $2B In Endowment

[pmvon]

Agreed. Endowments in the billions ought to go reduce tuition to zero

Impossible

One concern is that folks get the idea that Rutgers isn't behind its peers and has a boatload of money, so why can't the price to attend be reduced across the board. This is a conundrum particularly for public schools because state support has decreased over the years as a proportion of the operating budget and per student cost to educate. Rutgers still needs money/donations/etc. and not everyone is inclined to provide support due to differing priorities.

What do you call stocks and bonds? I say they represent a pool of capital. And they are bought, sold and/or redeemed regularly, which means they will be reinvested. Isn't a loan an investment on the part of a lender? You might like the fact that currently the school have no risk with student loans. I say that with high endowment schools, however you define them, the institution should share the risk with the taxpayers.

He doesn't understand that endowment money gets invested in the market.

You clearly have reading comprehension problems. Your comments are silly and demonstrate all that is wrong with the country. You don’t take information in and assess if your position is still valid. Just stick to your guns with very limited information about how the space works. Instead of taking info in from someone who does know you just keep stating the same uniformed opinions.

That's a very autobiographical statement, given your constant harping on the restricted part of the endowment which nobody has brought up.

Lol. By saying they should loan their endowment funds, you brought it up. Even unrestricted can’t be loan out as it support current operating exp and capex.

keep sticking your head in the sand.

Once again, it just proves how Rutgers is one of the recognized power educational institutions across the land.
