How do American universities make their money? | Counting the Cost


From Columbia Univeristy in New York to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, protests against Israel’s war on Gaza have spread across major United States colleges.

Protesters’ demands vary in scope from school to school. But there is one common message – disclose and divest.

Students want their universities to be more…

  1. Gli Stati Uniti non convincono più nessuno nel mondo, e neanche più la propria popolazione. E allora sparano, anche su se stessi…

    ✊🏼free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
    🇮🇹❤️🇵🇸

  2. Wonder whats on the minds of African Americans and what are their conversations among themselves as they watch all of this unfold
    Hmmm

  3. The powerful ISREAL LOBBY GROUP are one of the main doners that why they are so embarrassed by what's happening in the universities they want to shut things down. The ammunition factories have contracts to fulfill so no cease fire on the cards. It's all over the international media.

  4. These students on the right side of the history, honourable stand against injustice, apartheid carnage and atrocities. Salute students salute students ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  5. Is that police handling an ethical, moral justice related demand of a nation? The way the police smash women on the ground is brutal! These students in fact give honour not only to America but to the humanity!

  6. BIDU has financing & equity on NADAQ, shows how sordid aspects of USA had recklessly indulged & exploited these intrusions along with the malfeasance that compromise & risk citizens.
    When intrude, impose & appear to invade, defile, & harm innocent citizens, then provoke & expect response. Plan, assemble, discuss & create assertive persuasive manifest, declaration, & resolutions with the precious time & effort, definitely avoid recklessness & risk beside respect for due process & innocent uninvolved people.

    How can supposed representatives of USA somehow involved with those external issues much less indulge intrusion & invasion, while impose, endanger, violate, & harm innocent citizens of USA? None of that is my involvement or approval & should remain remote, while ensure humanitarian & peaceful resolution, yet conniving intrusive parasitic NGOs, kleptocrats, complicit shills, & systemic corruption have risked, intrude, harm, & violate, & further endanger me. There were 36 hospital facilities for serving Gaza …? Wouldn't be alone in describing that tactic as beyond offensive & reprehensible, but what is harm, hazard, & human rights violations with atrocity even in USA social institutions & medical system?

    Another foreign government, commit apartheid & wage conflict with another belligerent, yet somehow USA want indulge & exploit but has seemingly externalized not only abuse, harm, & human right violations with atrocity that get coverup, obfuscate, obstruct, & retaliate happening in USA.

  7. Anyway, America has always been against the education of people, particularly of Americans
    Increasing the cost of education will be one more nail in the coffin for education

  8. They want to ban TikTok because they can't control us through it like they do with mainstream media. We can see what is happening with our own eyes when people post videos of their experiences. Like with what's happening in Gaza. We can then understand that we are being lied to and manipulated. Look at the student protests. They're not protesting about Gaza because of coverage from mainstream media. Its because they've seen so many videos of children blown to pieces by bombs.

  9. I agree with Mrs. Fallon, that the US government would be involved in piracy by confiscating Russia’s assets. It is a tactic used among drug lords! The hypocrisy!!

  10. Silly me, I thought these endowment funds went to scholarships for some of the best and the brightest in our nation whose means would prevent them from attending these prestigious colleges and universities. I had no idea they were just a way of hoarding wealth and property unto themselves. Each day brings a new smack in the head at how naive I have been. All I am seeing these days is a rude awakening at how corrupt from top to bottom the so called land of the free, home of the brave actually is. All these billions they have to play around with and still the cost of higher education keeps getting more and more out of reach for our young people. Even student loans look more like loan sharking than what they should be.

  11. If the US/West seizes Russian assets it is going to kill the US Dollar. People will be reluctant to (re)invest in the US for fear of asset seizure/forfeiture if things get rocky politically. Is Ukraine really worth that much to Joe Biden? More countries will get on the BRICS Band Wagon should a Russian Asset seizure happen.

  12. Amen to the anti-war protesting students and Professors. I pray and send good energy their way. They are on the right side of humanity. Palestinians too deserve the right to life and freedom just like any other human. Thank you for using your voices. Rise up! Keep going!

  13. This is about Israel or more precisely the footages of attrocities coming out of there via Tik Tok. Yet another example of Zionists money and lobby influencing U.S. Policies. Besides if Byte Dance ever sells part of Tik Tok, who do you think is going to buy it? Zionist owned companies and other companies with strong Zionist ties of course.

  14. In the past, many countries have never recognized the West, especially the United States, as a democratic country, but criticized the United States as an imperialist hegemony abroad, a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie at home, or more accurately, a dictatorship of Jewish oligarchy, where Jews are more like a class than a nation. Therefore, it seems that the United States has elected a candidate from one of the two parties as the president of the United States by universal suffocation. But behind these two parties and their media is the same group of Jewish oligarchs, so the president of the United States is for a very small number of bourgeois service, only you can not scold the people who really rule you, Americans of course can scold Trump Biden, puppets why can not scold? It is to give you this illusory feeling of being able to choose, which leads to the embarrassing situation of the current American regime, and the selection of names is extremely embarrassing, which is why there are swing states. No matter who you choose, you can't change the status quo, and choosing any one of them only changes a plate on the table, and the dish is still the dish. But will BlackRock's big boss, the Jewish financier behind both parties, step down? What about the private company behind the Fed? You don't even know who he is, he controls American politics without any democratic process from the American electorate, and he's a Jewish family patriarchy, so it's not a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, so what is? It's like when you go to a talent show, you think you have chosen, and the boss behind the scenes has already asked you to choose from a few of the appointed ones, and if the one you choose doesn't listen, it will be done. The assassination of Kennedy may be blamed on conspiracy theories, but Nixon was accidentally released after the tape warning Jewish plutocratic, the media brought him down after the Watergate case, If the President of the United States can be assassinated that easily, have you ever seen a big Wall Street boss get shot? In the past, the United States could occupy 50% of the world's industry, the G7 accounted for 70% of the world's GDP, and could sanction all disobedient regimes, so it seemed too powerful and the poor in the United States could eat meat residue through the trickle-down effect, which was better than those in the third World who could not even eat soup, but as the United States transferred middle and low-end industries to its first island chain Allies, As capitalists transferred industries to any country in the name of neoliberalism such as Reagan Thatcher, even white Americans in Detroit could only become homeless on the rust belt, and the American politics controlled by rich Americans were unwilling to redistribute wealth, thus the Jewish oligarchic dictatorship and the dictatorship of the rich were reflected.
