Here come @Cue7 and his weekly “bad” news on U of C.
Please stop pulling number out of thin air to denigrate U of C. If U of C has to reach $20 billion endowment to make U of C competitive, by the same logic maybe Columbia and your beloved UPenn should close up shop when their endowment is “low teen” billions. Ditton for MIT for its $16 billion endowment. How many schools have $20 billion + endowment?
