OH LOL. I know a few Trumpers whose kids ED'd there.
Morons.

The University of Chicago's endowment ended FY24 at $10.4 billion as of June 30, 2024 with a 8.4% return on investments.

And after the crash?

Call your Senators ASAP to complain about what Trump is doing to grants, funding for education. Leave a message to let them know they will not have your vote if they go along with Trump's actions or do nothing to block him. This is especially relevant for Republican senators in your state, but ask your Dem senators to fight for our kids' futures too.

Senate numbers to call:
https://www.senate.gov/general/resources/pdf/senators_phone_list.pdf

Same for your Rep in the House:
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Finally, the Republican Senators and Congress are following Trump's lead because they are scared they'll not be re-elected if they don't. Let them know in no uncertain terms that they will lose your vote if they don't block Trump on these key, detrimental measures. Deluge them with messages everyday!

We can spend hours on this DCUM College thread and years prepping to launch our kids into college, but none of those efforts will matter if we don't fight now to make the Congress hold him accountable as well as vote to block Trump's roll in the mid-terms.

There are so many parents from all kinds of states on DCUM, caring about our kids' futures is something we all have in common. Let's not give up and reduce our dreams for our kids or try to force them into fields that won't be destroyed by Trump. Let's get rid of Trump's horrible policies by contacting our Reps and then vote him and the congress people who agree with him OUT.

Many (most) people on this site don't have Senators or Representatives.

Kids will now have to scramble to private banks charging 10% interes(absurd) or simply no longer go to college. Colleges are going to collapse due to a severe decline in the number of students that will implode tuition dollars. They're hammering colleges also by kneecapping the amount of overhead from grants.

I don't think you get it. The United States is over. Send you kids abroad for education, because they have successfully implemented an Idiocracy. Low education is the norm. Severely degraded quality in education in all US institutions will now be then norm.

The US is now a 3rd world dump of uneducated morons. But at least the US has a lot of guns, pickup trucks, and nukes. The US is no longer a first world country. Top education is now in Asia and Europe.

Just because Elon said it doesn't make it true. It is a congressionally authorized and funded agency. Unless Congress votes to defund it and delete it, it still exists. Let's let this play out.

Let's NOT wait to let it play out. Let's encourage our communities, friends, family in every state to CALL our reps to say we do not want them to vote to defund our dept of education and research grants or we will vote them OUT.

F--- Elon Musk. Nobody voted for him. He has no authority to declare a congressionally funded agency doesn't exist or do anything. He is a hypocrite as well. He illegally overstayed his student visa as a South African immigrant and is now playing out his emperor fantasies. Let's not allow him to do that to us at our own expense.

Of course they voted for him. He supported trump with his billionaires Trump and they elected Trump. Trumpers have no interest in education.

except endowments and deep pocket alums can bridge the gap. there are unconstrained funds in the endowment.

You should really just stop because you are totally without a clue.

this you kamala?

What’s your solution for when universities have spent their entire endowments in a year or two, genius?

really? schools will spend $13B in a year or two? even hopkins with 1B in federal funding will still retain a significant portion of it. you suck at math and typing. go get some air in that brain

I've noticed regular posters on here from FL, mid-west, CA, OR, NY, PA along with VA/MD ... please let's flood our Senate & House Representatives with calls daily until they get the message we will not tolerate them messing with education, college, federal grants and funding. It doesn't matter what party we rep, this deserves some "all hands on deck" unity from all parents.

The college thread is a good thread to post in since it attracts parents all over the US, not just DMV ...

cool youve garnered 20 people out of state. congrats. useless

Hundreds of universities are affected not just the five or so with the biggest endowments. Apparently your personal mission is to show us all how stupid MAGA is.

I guess someone needs to spell it out for you.

The proposed shortfall will be hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars.
Universities have endowments, but those monies generally are not general fund, but rather earmarked to support specific programs in an ongoing basis, or specific "faculty chairs" or specific aid programs. The caretakers of the endowments cannot just reprogram the money against the donors wishes to cover something like this. That said, even if they could, they would run through those endowed funds in a couple of years, leaving the university without its endowment.

How does this benefit MAGA voters or red states? Research is expensive but compared to our national budget it is nothing. Confused, How is science and medical research partisan?

It doesn't--there are lots of research universities in red states, and they employ a lot of people. This is the one reason I have hope that this will get dialed back. I suspect the backlash is going to be significant.

I'm worried that the Project 2025 architects plan to redistribute funds to reduce state publics and the likes of Liberty and Hillsdale and deliberately shaft certain schools/states. We can already see this in the DHS and D Ed "investigations. "

It’s already started…people don’t seem to understand that red states need government largesse more than most blue states.

Alaska relies on federal employment and transfer payments a ton. West Virginia is basically just one big government handout suck.

University of West Virginia is a massive employer in the state…they can’t afford to lose a nickel.
