The Ivy's all have multi-billion dollar endowments. They should go without a single donor dollar for a generation and be fine And even expand.

Sure but why stop a practice that is working so well already? It's just 10 slots out of 100s.

It's over 200 out of about 2000 at Harvard, plus another 200 for athletes... Though of course the bigger issue is that Harvard only has 2000 places for undergrad despite a $50bn endowment, in order to create some artificial scarcity.

200 people in each class at Harvard donated buildings to get in? That seems hard to believe.

That “over 200” is for legacies, not building donators, right?
