Thank you, Charlie.

Thank you, Charlie.

Hi, Charlie. So you got that right. About three weeks ago, two weeks ago, something like that, I sent this email to all of Brown's administrators. And it's essentially just a press request. That's what it is. I'm acting in my capacity as a journalist for the Brown Spectator. And I'm trying to get a read on what's going on at Brown University. What are all these people doing? And

And this was even before, like a few days ago, the Trump administration just announced that they're going to take away Brown's federal funding because of DEI and anti-Semitism. But this is even before that, because Brown, get this, Brown costs $93,000 a year for one year of college. And I know that you say college is always a scam, Charlie, but it's seeming more and more like that these days.

Because where does all this money go? That's an excellent question. And it's pretty much, like you said, 3,805 non-faculty staff members. These are not professors who are teaching the classes. These are people who sit at desks and they push around papers and nobody exactly knows what they do because they won't tell me, especially. And so I just find that all very suspect and suspicious. Yeah.

Well, that's a great question. So at our website right now, bloats.brownspectator.com, We have about 49 people that are dedicated to DEI roles. And again, these are the people that just cost Brown $510 million from the Trump administration because they're refusing to comply with the directives about DEI.

But just in general, it's like there are multiple people, Charlie, that are dedicated to ad sales for the alumni magazine. For the alumni, I didn't even know that the alumni magazine ran ads, but apparently one person is not good enough for that. You need to have multiple people running ad sales for the alumni magazine.

There's about seven full-time people that are on the alumni magazine in general, in roles in general. But the funny thing is that I couldn't find that many articles that were written by these seven-time full-time staffers because they make freelancers and students write the actual articles.

So it's just bloat like that in the alumni magazine, in all of these various offices that as a student, I wouldn't even think to think that we had such a thing, that these offices existed because they don't really interact with students. They're pretty much just behind the scenes, but they're raising the cost of tuition that are making schools like Brown expensive.

Like, again, they always say that the Ivy League is supposed to be an economic ladder, you know, that poor kids can go to the Ivy League schools and they'll turn out successful in life. But that is really being put to the test by this enormous price tag and sort of disregard for financial planning of any sort.
