Why is Cornell's endowment so low? |
NACUBO as reported by Forbes
It was a down year (fiscal year 2022) for school endowment funds. |
Wishful thinking. |
This would be a good start at ruining the best higher education system in the world. |
Where’s Georgetown? |
NACUBO only released the top 20 endowments without charge. I did not see the full report yet. Georgetown is an elite university despite its relatively small endowment. |
Remarkably consistent year to year. |
It does ok for being so poor. Imagine if it had a decent endowment, it would easily be top 5-10. |
Why is Norte Dame’s endowment so small? |
You need to check out the per capita endowment. Tells a different story. |
Does anyone know where the 2022 endowments are listed for all schools? I can only find 2021, after the big gain in the market |
Michigan was up, albeit slightly.
