First, it isn’t generosity, it’s PR.

I meant the generosity of the alums.

This is a repeated debate I am not interested in having again. I am not an Ivy apologist or a defender of the oligarchs. But I do think there are individuals in the elite ecosystem that are kind and generous and and believe in the mission of making elite education available to those who have been historically shut out. Sweeping broad brush pronouncements about the schools and those within them only doing it for p.r. Is just a smidge too cynical for me.
