<p>I think questions like these are why many employers and graduate schools prefer graduates from LACs like Swarthmore, Bowdoin, and Wesleyan. Is a seven billion dollar endowment something to complain about? I believe state universities are much more entitled to complaints. They lose donations, high caliber students, and large chunks of their applicant pools to high school seniors and their parents obsessed with pretige. I don’t think we should be complacent in our fundraising policies, but the Ivy league, and comprable schools by endowment value and student caliber, have very little about which to complain.</p>
