They sit on hundreds of billions of dollars in endowments while whining and wailing like scalded babies when DOGE cuts their lavish subsidies by a few million. The more cutting the better for these dysfunctional incubators of socialism.
Humorous side note: I once held a privately-funded endowed chair. Since the chair holders were generally paid more than the average professor, a socialist philosophy professor (the only allowable type) complained about this unconscionable inequality in a letter to the editor in the school newspaper, condemning me especially for being “by far the best endowed” of all the chair holders. I was told at the time that I then became the talk of the female employees at the university.
