32% return. $62 billion merged pool. Only $2 billion being dispersed. Meanwhile, there's been huge layoffs. Space is being shut down. Faculty being nudged to seek out donors. Universities have lost the mission. It is not, "make number go up." stanforddaily.com/2026/09/29/s...

Stanford reports 31.7% return on investment
The return surpassed the median for U.S. college endowments.

Universities have been accused of doctoring photos to showcase diversity in the past. In this case, a Black woman replaced a Hispanic young man, who said it was upsetting to be “erased.”

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵
The average CD_5 index per year for Web of Science. The original Park et al. decline (top curve) becomes essentially flat (bottom curve) when removing papers with CD_5=1. Those papers largely correspond to dataset artefacts.

It's the same story everywhere... www.statnews.com/2026/05/21/m...
Quote: "The reservations compound what many clinicians have been ringing alarms about since the system’s hospitals started joining together in earnest — that the organization as a whole is increasingly corporatized, and the physician voice has been pushed further away from strategy decisions. Many feel those in charge are not always worthy of trust."
