why do these universities get so much money from billionaires yet they still charge tens of thousands of dollars per semester for tuition? Where is the money going?

[AB-wgqe]

OH no!!! The HEDGEFUND known as Columbia University won't have as much money to not spend on their

[mikehappy]

Columbia University is sitting on $13, 6 billion in endowment money. Still tuition, room and books for four years is as high as $320, 000. The president of Columbia makes $4.2 Million per year. Along with 24 trustees earning another $2.7 Million. And you see the end product. A complete rip off.

[dakdak]

Stop funding these universities and starting giving money towards better health care and K-8 education

Corruption should be out of the educational system

How dare those students think for themselves. We will be having none of that!!! Be good little toadies like Joey Scarborough want you to be

Donate to the community colleges not the large universities! It’s the community colleges that need funding! Those big universities on the other hand don’t need it since they have access to huge grants. Besides the two year community colleges serve and support the demands of the surrounding communities unlike the large universities. The working classes need more help and resources than the rich and wealthy that attend the larger universities!

Provide more scholarships to the community colleges! We need more folks with associates and bachelor’s degrees then we need Master’s & PHD’s!!!

Very normal economic system, where schools are influenced by the politics of billionaires.

Why not report on how Americans need an extra $11, 400 due to inflation rising since 2021.

[JB-xnsf]

Given the prices they charge, why d8es anyone need to donate money.

[Kay-cyvi]

So the donor determines what to be taught in the university! Ugly system!

[shisley]

Some people are itching for blood shed on American soil!!

Please tell msnbc viewers that Columbia Univ is not in Bogota
