[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This can't be right.  The University of Texas' endowment is around $25 billion. It has gone back and forth between 2 & 3, depending on oil prices.

This is the endowment of the whole University of Texas System, which consists of multiple universities.  So it doesn't make sense to compare the total $25 figure with other individual universities. [/quote]

Michigan has multiple campuses, as does Texas A&M.  Most other lists I have seen have included Texas.  The original endowment was for the flagship campus.  They opened the other campuses when the endowment got so big and they wanted to spread the wealth around.  I think the article was written by some Yalie annoyed that they were passed by a state university (and a southern one, at that!).  [/quote]
