And btw, they have a $50 billion dollar endowment that grows at a minimum of $5 billion a year. This bullshit about not being able to research because big bad Donald is taking away their dollars (our dollars) makes me want to scream. I’m sick of these Ivys getting our money, charging ridiculous tuition amounts, and having the gall to say their constitutional rights are being infringed upon. Give me a break!

a big scam of the 20th century was convincing the public their child needed to be in an Ivy League school or they were worthless and would fail at life. It sadly worked and still does. When the name of the school became more important than learning the skills needed to pursue your career and life path, it became a money machine and nothing more. Tell your kids to get a trade or go to a local school. Enough of the "big schools" marketing machine. All they want now is money and to get as many of their graduates to vote a certain way

And yet, many members of Trump's cabinet and many of his billionaire donors all graduated from Ivy League schools.

That's OK, China is quite prepared to leap ahead in research.
