Good info, thanks for sharing.

[00Dawg]

$11.1 billion. At what point do you just pay for all your students' tuition in perpetuity?

 

[dawgstudent]

Someone's been watching Shark Tank.

 

[Miss.Stake]

That's good to see. Wow @ A&M's numbers.

 

[aTotal360]

Damn. aTm's is 24X ours.

 

[57stratdawg]

What is driving this increase?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah I did a double take on that number. Wow is right.

 

[AHSDawg]

Just for s***s and giggles. Harvard = $36.4BILLION... Wow. Their endowment is larger than HALF of the world's economies.

[coach66]

Lot's of fund raising and we are about to witness the largest transfer of wealth

in our country's history when geezers like me and the other baby boomers checkout. These endowments are going to only get bigger. The on campus experience for education is going to have to become very special to survive the internet attack of on-line education in the coming years so these endowments are going to be needed. Going to on campus college is going to be a lot more about the experience than just the education and it will be marketed as such.

The coolest thing is, if you get into Harvard you're almost guaranteed to graduate with honors.

[DerHntr]

This is fantastic news for the university. I'm glad we have begun to make a push.

What is likely driving it is that state governments have been cutting education funds.

 

[WayboDawg]

Check out the Tennessee's numbers, they basically coincide with their pitiful football program as of late. Percent increase was the second smallest at +192%.

2008: 5-7
2009: 7-6
2010: 6-7
2011: 5-7
2012: 5-7
2013: 5-7
2014: 7-6

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah and last I checked their athletic department was hemorrhaging money too.

[jacksonreb]

my next door neighbor is a harvard grad.....he says

Harvard is a lot harder to get into than to get out of.

[coach66]

I've worked with several Harvard grads in my career and I would have to agree

with your statement. All hat no cattle.

Is UGA just an underperformer at everything? How are they behind UK? And how has LSU dropped a spot over the past 12 years? You would think being the only major school in the state and with all of the oil and gas money in the state they would be doing better.

That's good to see. Wow @ A&M's numbers.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Using the Obama model ...

$11.1 billion. At what point do you just pay for all your students' tuition in perpetuity?

A&M should be subject to the new 'SEC tax' of say ... $500M or so to the 'less fortunate' SEC schools that currently have less than $1B in endowment. Think of it as a sorta 'endowment equality' for all us less fortunate schools.

 

[BiscuitEater]

My brother got a graduate degree from Harvard ...

The coolest thing is, if you get into Harvard you're almost guaranteed to graduate with honors.

They may have $36B in the bank but they are the cheapest SOBs on the planet. You don't get a school diploma from there until you pay off every last cent owed ... period.

It took him several years to pay the school back. No happy memories there!

 

[Sutterkane]

Scary part? Most Harvard/Yale grads are our future leaders. Or at least according to the masses/media. That goes for left or right.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

You got it, and that's happening in a big, big way right now. Anybody who has dropped off a kid at their alma mater - look at the living conditions, access to technology, etc. It's gone from our cinderblock cubes to resort quality living, and kids are demanding it now. Want to know why tuition has increased several hundred percent over the last few decades? I can tell you it isn't the salaries for people actually doing the teaching; those of us who survive have seen salaries flatline, assuming we aren't getting replaced with low quality, cheap adjuncts making 3 grand a class with no benefits.

 

[MississippiHeavyMetalDog]

Part of your education is the people that you meet

I don't see online degrees replacing those experiences. Those experiences are one of the reasons that you pay big bucks at the private schools. I have friends that graduated from Duke and Ivy league schools. It is unbelievable who they get to know. Connections can be very important in life.

in our country's history when geezers like me and the other baby boomers checkout. These endowments are going to only get bigger. The on campus experience for education is going to have to become very special to survive the internet attack of on-line education in the coming years so these endowments are going to be needed.

[shotgunDawg]

I think people mis-understand the point of going to Harvard or Yale.

You don't go there because you'll get a better education than most any other school.

You go there for two reasons:

1. The network. Once you graduate from Harvard or Yale you become a Harvard or Yale graduate and have access to that network.

2. The dirty little secret: Harvard & Yale grads get offered jobs that MSU grads don't know exist. Jobs that most don't realize you can get, are recruited from Harvard and Yale.

 

[rem101]

Yeah, I had a friend go there. Said B's are the easiest grade to obtain. A's are tough and C's are damn near impossible. I'm not sure much of anyone flunks out.

Had a professor with a lot of friends from there... he would call Harvard "Pay your fee, get your B"
