Donors support UChicago priorities with historic $459 million fundraising year

<p>Goldenboy -</p>

<p>Uchicago has a higher endowment per capita than both Penn and Columbia (UChicago has about 15k students, Penn is at 20-22k, and Columbia is 25k). Market performance, though, has lagged. Hopefully the new fundraising campaign will infuse more cash into the endowment, but the returns need to get better too. A 6.6% return when most peers were getting 10-15% returns isn’t cutting it.</p>
