While UChicago is home of the first Heisman Trophy winner and was a founding member of the Big 10 conference, football is definitely not what the Maroons are known for.
I highly doubt university endowments are heavily leveraged in such a small sector of the global economy. That would be recklessly undiversified for any portfolio and, well, stupid.
However, I would not be surprised if a significant number of their wealthy donors got mad about the protests. A lot of elites seem to have put their blinders on after October 7 and divorced themselves from the current reality on the ground.
Sorry but why are all these uni’s so against protesting to end a genocide?
Isnt learning to better ourselfs the goal of uni…Im sorry i almost pissed myself laughing…. No mostly for football and money. Still tho…

Because their endowments have massive amounts of money tied up in Israeli stocks and bonds.
