<p>Penn has the 8th largest endowment in the US, 5th in the Ivy League after HYPC. It’s already $400 million shy of the ENTIRE 10-school UC system. Still, it looks like the richest uni’s are getting richer faster. (harvard&yale’s endowments grew by $3B from 2005 to 2006, while penn grew $1B in the same time). </p>

<p>i def agree, penn has done amazing with the amount of money that it has (especially when it has a larger student body to divide this endowment than schools like MIT or Princeton). just a guess, but is it because penn is returning a larger fraction of its endowment back to facilities/faculty/students/research/etc than the “richer” schools?</p>
