University of Chicago considering bankruptcy
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 17th, 2025 3:52 PM Author: ''"'''"''"''''"'' The University of Chicago has now borrowed $6.3 billion, more than 70 percent of the value of its endowment. The cost of servicing its debt is now 85 percent of the value of all undergraduate tuition. This is not normal. No peer institution has a debt-to-asset ratio greater than 26 percent.

I don't think Chicago School had a ton of influence internationally. It was recognized and studied abroad but not wholesale adopted the way it was in America. |

Date: August 17th, 2025 7:26 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Bankruptcy mastermen: Is bankruptcy appropriate for an entity that has investments that exceed its liabilities by over $1B? Shouldn't the bankruptcy court's answer be, "Use your endowment, which exceeds your debts, to pay the money you owe"? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5763372&forum_id=2!#49192855) |

Date: August 17th, 2025 7:59 PM Author: ponyboy curtis (If I May, tp) I think endowment funds are usually tightly restricted in how they're used. For example, the donor might specify that the money be used for minority scholarships or other communist agitprop. Only a small number of donations can be used for operational needs.

Date: August 17th, 2025 7:29 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK It was always a poor school. Its per capita endowment was a fraction of Northwestern's last I checked, which may have been several decades ago. Princeton always seemed like the daddy, and there are a few niche colleges like Grinnell that sit on yuge per capita endowments. Oberlin was also rich per capita IIRC, and Rice was so rich it gave free tuition to Texas residents until recently. Harvard endowment is yuge but IIRC they also borrowed heavily against it like UofC. Not sure Princeton ever had to do that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5763372&forum_id=2!#49192860) |

Date: August 17th, 2025 8:44 PM Author: cowshit Btw, it isn’t the bonds that sink them. It isn’t the debt. It’s the empty hallways where no firm comes. The students sit with their useless résumés and their borrowed money and their bad degrees. Without OCI they are cattle without a market. In 2025 a boy leaves Hyde Park with his parchment and his pride and he earns $27,000k. That is the joke. The debt is theater. The real rot is that there is no ladder out. The school takes their money, borrows more, and laughs. Debt on debt. Pride on pride. It is all a con. And the worst of it is the students believe they are different. They are not. They are broke and ordinary. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5763372&forum_id=2!#49193057) |
