Penn State is the most expensive land grant university in the country and has a $6.2b endowment.

I didn't know that it is the most expensive. Not a good fact. The budget of that place is staggering, which is why it needs to get back to core missions. But when bureaucrats get to decide how to spend other people's money, they tend to spend it on things important to them. Universities have lost their way. But I do have some hope with Dr. Bendapudi. She seems to have a toughness that the virtue-signaling Barron lacked. Time will tell.

The cool thing about the phrase "virtue-signalling" is that you can safely assume that anyone using it is a psychopath and ignore them.
