| So just snark and no receipts. |
Virtually every school lost money a year ago. You have selective memory. |
But Notre Dame lost over 4 billion dollars, a 7.44% loss. That was eclipsed only by MIT. So not selective memory (and I’m a different pp just tired of all of the ND boosters who cite to ridiculous things like endowment but then hide their head in the sand when anyone points out ND’s terrible diversity figures |
More students equals more buildings and larger campus and therefore more to rehab and update. So your theory is flawed. |
In the article cited, which used NACUBO data, Notre Dame was only down .7% https://www.insidehighered.com/news/business/financial-health/2024/02/15/college-endowment-returns-ticked-fiscal-year-2023 University of Notre Dame $16,616,524 $16,729,299 -0.7% |
Found the article from June 2021: https://www.ndsmcobserver.com/article/2022/01/university-endowment-returns-net-53-2-reaching-20-3-billion-in-june-2021 |
20.3 billion in June of 2021 |
ND is still 7th among the private schools. No change in than rank. |
Yep and now ‘$16b. That’s a 4 billion dollar loss. Huge for only a 16b endowment |
Again, NACUBO, which compiles the endowment totals, uses a standard methodology for an apples to apples comparison. They exclude funds managed that do not qualify as endowments. That likely explains the delta. |
And still holds it's place as a highly ranked university in terms of endowment AND academics AND athletics. I know you are grasping for anything that you can find to bash this wonderful Catholic institution! You are probably one of those who predicted it would fall out of T20 in USNWR this year, which it did not LOL. |
Everyone can google all this ranking stuff you keep posting. What difference does it make in your world? Get a blog or something. You don't even comment - just stop. |
DP. You can just not click on it. I actually like seeing the rankings. I don't know where to find them and appreciate the OP explaining why this source has different numbers to show the apples to apples comparison. |

Endowment is a good reference. You can see correlation between school ranking and endowment ranking. Looks like we just had an update with 2023 data.
Don't click it if you are not interested. Here's the better link; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_the_United_States_by_endowment |
