Oh, it’s not the concern that’s funny, if they had that selfawareness it would be admirable. Instead, you have people pat themselves on the back for how aware they are every time they encounter a validating piece of propaganda they, of course, fall for. Big “I know a messiah when I see one, I’ve followed quite a few!” energy.

I meant that the money donated isn’t that much, compared to the existing endowment. I think it was Adam Tooze’s argument, that IIRC Columbia could basically afford to lose most if not all donation streams and just fund itself from the stock market. And his interpretation as to why they reacted so violently is either fully ideological on behalf of the admin, or because Colombia is actually underperforming as asset management, a panicking reasserting of who runs the place, which is in a way also ideological.
