[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Federal funding accounts for 55% of university research expenditures. At John's Hopkins, it is 87%.[/quote]
As of June 2024, Johns Hopkins University's (JHU) endowment was roughly $13.5 billion. [/quote]

doesn't understand the difference between an endowment and annual operational funding. sad.[/quote]

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

stop acting arrogant with stupidity.  dunning kruger in full effect [/quote]

You should really just stop because you are totally without a clue.[/quote]

this you kamala?[/quote]

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

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[/quote]

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.[/quote]

wrong yet again. where do you think named bloomberg professor titles and funding came from - hint it’s from a large pocketed donor. fed funding will be impacted due to indirect costs not the entirety of all funding. the endowment’s unrestricted funds should the college choose will cover this from investment returns alone.

there, i spelled it out for you which is ironic.[/quote]

So what happens to the efforts that the unrestricted funds would have formerly covered?[/quote]
