[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how any of this is constitutional. We have one man making all these capricious decisions regarding various individual universities. There's no method or system. Just whims and enemies. Very banana republic. [/quote] Well this one is a tax on investment income passed by Congress so unfortunately it is very constitutional. Ultimately I think Princeton and Dartmouth will escape through the tuition-paying threshold, and MIT and Rice might too. For the dozen or so others that this applies to, they will manage their investment income to reduce the tax burden. But even then it isn’t large. For example, even before taking steps to optimize tax efficiency, these tax estimates are generally less than one percent of these schools’ total endowments (~0.5 percent in many cases). [/quote]
