Federal Gov’t Handed Over Billions In COVID Relief Money To Colleges With Massive Endowments

8

The Covid power grab had nothing to do with health and everything to do with the consolidation of power and money into the cloven hooves of the left.

Why are colleges imposing mask mandates again when we know they are more harm than good? Because they are handmaidens for the left regime. 104 colleges in the US are still mandating COVID vaccines for students (faculty exempted), despite the dangerous injuries (and sometimes death) that many suffer. Now you know why.

The Federal government’s contempt for the American people is manifest in their dissolute squandering of our hard-earned money. Their contempt for us and our hard-earned money is immoral and depraved. They’ve destroyed the dollar and they mean to destroy every decent, hard-working America.

The US government is too big. Too dangerous. Too out of control.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal Gov’t Handed Over Billions In COVID Relief Money To Colleges With Massive Endowments

By: Brandon Poulter, Daily Caller, September 22, 2023:

The federal government handed over nearly $76 billion to colleges and universities from COVID-19 federal funding packages, despite the colleges and universities having billions of dollars in their endowment funds, according to data compiled by OpenTheBooks.

The Cares Act, The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSSA) and The American Rescue Plan Act contained over $5 trillion in federal COVID-19 relief funds, of which nearly $76 billion was handed over to colleges and universities, according to data compiled by OpenTheBooks, a government transparency watchdog organization. Sixteen of the universities with the largest endowments received nearly $4 billion in federal COVID-19 relief funds.

“Here’s yet another glaring example of the sheer recklessness of pandemic relief spending. Trillions of our hard-earned tax dollars were squandered without congressional restraint or a shred of analysis to ascertain genuine need. Congress adopted a ‘spend now, sort it out later’ mentality,” OpenTheBooks founder & CEO Adam Andrzejewski said in a statement.

Among the larger schools, University of California System (UCS), University of Texas System (UTS) and Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) took nearly $1.34 billion, $1 billion and $208 million respectively, according to data compiled by OpenTheBooks.

Some of the schools with the largest endowments decided not to take the money despite being qualified, according to data compiled by Open The Books. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Notre Dame, Washington University St. Louis and Northwestern passed on the funds.
