at least my alma mater committed to using its endowment to fund first-gen students' tuition
I'm not trying to one-up you or anything, but my school recently committed to using its endowment fund to snapping up property bordering campus in order to force affordable places to eat (like McDonald's) to close in an attempt to make the area unfriendly to the low-income people who work there. 🙃
It's always nice when large wealthy institutions do the right thing. Especially because they don't have to, as no one can really stop them from being evil. The situation reminds me of the church in medieval Europe honestly. I guess the upside is that at least the architecture is nice.
