How can a top-notch university like Brown be running a $46 million budget deficit when they are earning many millions from their endowment investments, are getting $93,000 from each student and getting annual donations of about $500 million. Maybe they should be paying their investment officers salaries of over a $million?
Never mind. The university president seems to be a DEI hire.
It's fun to play the Trumper Logic Train. Try this one:
1) Private university pays their top administrators what look to be awfully high salaries.
2) So, the federal government should stop giving that university nearly as much to support the direct and indirect costs of research.
3) A private company's owner is the richest man in the world.
4) The federal government should stop giving that company nearly as much money for its rockets and satellites.
When is #4 scheduled to start? Or are they still cleaning up after the Tesla showcase on the Front Lawn?

Are you this stupid in real life? Or only on the internet?

Based on what?
Based on what? How about the $100s of millions they earn on endowment investments, $500 million on donations, and about 1 $billion from tuition. How can they be running a budget deficit?

I had one B at an elite college over 5 years. So not really stupid.
I have spent some time in Dubai. It is understandable that, to the outsider, it might seem like a wonderful place - very clean, low crime, lots of very impressive buildings/shops/entertainment options.
But the reality is much darker. And it is not just that punishments for crimes might be considered overly harsh.
The reality is that the entire system is built on slave labor. Dubai lures people from poor countries and enslaves them.
Essentially nobody who is a citizen of Dubai works. All work is done by ex-pats. Roughly 80 - 90% of the entire population of Dubai is made up of foreign nationals.
Those ex-pats coming from relatively wealthy nations provide all of the high skill work and generally are treated reasonably well - they can come and go as they please though they are still subject to the draconian laws and punishments of Dubai. For example, there is no real freedom of speech there. Criticizing the government can lead to arrest and time in jail or worse. Speech critical of the government, the royal family or Islam is simply not allowed.
Those ex-pats coming from poorer nations (Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia) have it much worse. They are lured to Dubai by pay much higher than they can earn in their own country. However, as soon as they land in Dubai, their passports are taken from them. They are essentially enslaved - unable to leave and with no rights as non-citizens, they are 100% at the mercy of their sponsor/employer.
So, I do not think that Dubai is such a good model. No citizen works (wanna guess what type of citizenry this results in?), everything is built and done by foreigners, one does not have the ability to simply speak their own mind without fear of being arrested, and a large portion of the population are essentially slaves.
I've never been to Dubai but I plan on going this or next year. Very interesting to hear your experience though. But it does show what cities could be - incredibly clean and with (basically) no crime.
Would you say that slavery is OK as long as we have "clean cities with (basically) no crime"? - (human rights violations against slaves obviously don't count as crimes)
Based on what? How about the $100s of millions they earn on endowment investments, $500 million on donations, and about 1 $billion from tuition. How can they be running a budget deficit?
The budget includes investments in student scholarships, salaries and benefits for faculty and staff, plans to advance research, a new approach to career preparation, voluntary contributions to Providence, and more.

Their budget is $1.3B per year, they employ like 7,000 people, and the budget deficit was 3%. Can propose a few reasons a company of this size could have a budget deficit that’s less than a rounding error?
I used to have to submit weekly reports to my boss. Took me about 10 minutes. These people are probably taking 15 min. smoke breaks.
Yeah. To your boss.
How did Elon use the responses from this request of all federal employees?
But now you're deflecting. You were arguing that emailing your week's work was inefficient. When shown it is not, you shift the argument. Is that your strategy?

Congratulations on your one B. Based on your posting (and the fact that college took you five years), I assume the rest of your grades were C’s and D’s.
Trump cares. MAGAs care. Maybe some other people. I don't know. I haven't taken a survey on that.
Just so you know, West Virginia also has the highest mental retardation rate in the country.
Here are the ten states with the highest mental retard rate:
West Virginia - whopping 15.7% of the population are certified retards
Mississippi - 13.9%
Kentucky - 13.5%
Louisiana - 12.5%
Tennessee - 11.9%
Alabama - 11.2%
Arkansas - 10.4%
North Carolina - 8.9%
Missouri - 8.8%
Georgia - 8.4%
These statistics are useful in determining who you want to associate with or do business with. They also explain the outcome of the first Civil War.
They also explain the results of the last election. Stupid people gonna stupid.
I'm sure there is a correlation in there. But the point is that Venn diagrammatically speaking, over 20% of the people you meet in West Virginia are either high as a skunk or mentally retarded or both. It's not a place you want to be unless you are dealing.
Leavitt: "The tariff announcement will come tomorrow. They will be effective immediately. The president...has talked a lot about April 2 as 'liberation day' in America. It would be taking place today if not for April Fool's Day."
Liberation day = Hundreds of billions of dollars in brand new taxes for Americans

There budget is $1.3 B?
With $1.79 billion in revenues and $1.83 billion in expenditures, the approved FY25 budget projects an operating deficit of $46 million for FY25, which is 3% of total revenue. One priority for the University in the coming years will be to limit annual deficits, even while continuing to invest in important priorities.
$1.79 B in revenues? They get about $1.1 billion in tuition, $500 million in donations - that is already at $1.6 billion and they have endowment earnings of maybe $700 billion. I am already up around $2.3 billion.
