Any kidding aside. Dedicating actual measuarable money to this instead of shadowy invisible "diversity" quotas is probably a good thing.
Rightoid hug boxes miss the point entirely as well: https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/uci6gg/harvard_sets_up_100_million_endowment_fund_for/?sort=controversial

All this is telling me is that Harvard has way too much money.
My so-called "top" university wishes they had these kinda funds.

Private universities are mammoths. Columbia for example is the single largest property owner in NYC. They have huge amounts of wealth not just from their fame but also from their pedigree, getting in on huge investments centuries ago which just are allowed compound growth.
Anyways its just rich kids doing rich kid stuff that they probably want to support anyways
