What do US universities do with the money they collect?

Some US universities like Harvard, Yale and Stanford have enormous endowments, tens of billions of dollars, and receiving more.

"Give back." "Donate." "Be charitable." Maybe these elite universities need to be taking more of their own advice, she says in a commentary distributed by New America Media.
