Hillsdale College, which is one of the few remaining truly reliable universities educational institutions takes zero federal money. Now, does Harvard have to take federal money? Well, you know, they have the biggest endowment of any university in the world. I think at the moment, Harvard's endowment, valued at 53.2 billion as of fiscal year 2024, is the largest among U.S. universities.

It's managed by the Harvard Management Company since 1974, and it comprises over 14,000 individual funds. So it distributes $2.4 billion a year, which is 1 25th of the endowment. It only covers 1 3rd of Harvard's $6.4 billion operating budget. So it's tax-exempt. That's kind of relevant when you're talking about ideological issues that might be pertinent to political leanings, for example.

We'll get into that. It has tax incentives for donations and it issues low-interest tax-exempt bonds. So Harvard benefits massively from its favorable tax relationship with governmental institutions, most particularly the federal government.

And so if Harvard has become remiss in its duty to be neutral and truth-seeking, then there's no reason whatsoever to assume that it deserves its favorable relationship with the American government. And you could also make the case, as Hillsdale has, particularly under Larry Arnn, that

Any reliance by higher education institutions on federal funding compromises their essential mission, which is actually what Harvard is arguing right now, because Harvard has told Trump, this is the legal arguments that will start in July, that it's a First Amendment issue and that Trump doesn't get to tell Harvard that it has to sort itself out because that's a First Amendment violation.

Larry Arnn's Reaction to that and Hillsdale's refusal to take any federal money was in some sense a variant of that argument, except in the other direction. Their position, Hillsdale's position was there's no possible way that a university can be reliant on government funding without eventually becoming utterly corrupt. And by the way, Hillsdale is flourishing.

And if any of you out there listening are donating money to Harvard or any of the other Ivy League institutions, well, first of all, and thinking about sending your children there, first of all, you could give Hillsdale a real consideration, both in terms of donations and enrollment. Yeah, and you could also think about educating your children with Peterson Academy.
