They have to figure out how to function without charging 100k.

Do you know how endowments work?

They obviously do not. Most people are pretty uninformed when it comes to endowment mechanics and just see a big pile of money.

Chicago moms will say this is nothing. Look at Chicago’s deficit.

Syracuse is ranked <<< compared to Rutgers though the college experience may be better because Rutgers campus sucks.

Sorry but Rutgers isn't remotely as good as Syracuse. Keep dreaming.

Relocate its campus to Boston and watch 50,000 status-obsessed Chinese and Indian students flood its admissions inbox?

Maybe Indian students, Chinese student population is going to fall off cliff, worst you'd never seen.

There aren't that many rich Indians who would pay full freight to Syracuse.

I live in NJ. Rutgers is not a good school, most kids go there only reluctantly (sadly).

NJ kids don't want to go to Rutgers, but it's a good school.

My niece went there reluctantly (high stats but didn't have the money for oos/private, donut family). She graduated with zero debt and started earning six figures within 5 years of graduating while her friends who went oos were still struggling to pay back loans.

It is a big pile of money. There is no reason for these schools to hang on to that level of wealth when they are cutting programs left and right and expecting UMC families to fork over $400,000 for a bachelors degree for each child.

Above is at least part of the problem. And it is a systemic problem affecting most colleges and universities.
