Respectfully, comparing a janitor's 401k to a $27.4 billion endowment is (very) tone deaf.
But yes, the tax goes against "keeping sacred systems sacred" principles and is an opinionated policy against rich entities that the current administration dislikes.
- simonw 4mo agoYes, it's tone deaf. And comparing tax on an endowment to "tax a janitor pays" is arguing in bad faith.
- JuniperMesos 4mo agoUS federal government taxation policy shouldn't treat university endowments as sacred systems.
- simonw 4mo agoAnd it shouldn't treat them as levers to exact vengeance either.
