[quote=Anonymous]The issue for even the schools with large endowments is the endowments are 1) generally restricted, funds can only be used for what the donor intended, i.e. endowed chair, library, lab, etc, not to fund lawsuit against the government or offset revenue losses due to lack of tuition/grants and 2) to the extent that some portion of the endowment is unrestricted, approx 10-20 percent for most institutions it is not liquid, it is in stocks and bonds and in order to liquidate it there would be a reduction due to penalties on the bond instruments and market losses on the equities. Looking at the endowments as war chests is sort of like running your household budget by spending the equity in your house. [/quote]
