Austin Huang ❤️In the current context, I think we need to revisit the notion of <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#university</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/endowment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#endowment</a>. Why must <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#universities</a> try to maximize their financial return in order to pay for costs? Does an endowment limit a university's <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#academic</a> freedom by bounding <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#research</a> to donors, often rich billionaires? Doesn't that maintain a system of <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#education</a> that serves only the rich? We must rethink how universities can be financed while serving their purpose - to advance knowldge of mankind.
