Yep, Harvard's endowment is $53B.

$53.2B put some respect on that name. $200 million buys at least 1/4 of a new library wing or at least the 1 ply toilet paper for one bathroom stall for the school year!

Super quick check off articles and endowment office audit PDFs Brown:$6.5B (2022) RISD: $442M (2022) Providence: $320M (2022) JWU: $319M (2022) NEIT: $280M (2022) Bryant: $228M (2022) RIU: $218M (2021) RWU: $103M (2022) Salve: $81.6M (2022) RIC: $33.4M (2018)

CCRI is a public state school but their FY2023 budget request is $139.5M (not including any supplemental requests). $58.1m from the state, $61M from tuition and fees, $8M from the school own coffers. That is a $5.9M or 4.4% increase from FY2022.

$200M is a rounding error or market fluctuation.

To Harvard for sure.

True, but Harvard is an outlier. JWU or Roger Williams U have nothing close to that, for example.
