Well, that’s only if you discount the first ~65 years of its history, when it was one of the top 3 wealthiest universities on the planet.
I prefer to think of Chicago as a former apex predator that squandered its wealth through a series of bad decisions, and has been looking to reclaim its former glory for the better part of 30 years. That’s probably a more accurate view, at least historically speaking.
