In a recent appearance on Cow Guy Close, Dr. Carol Swain offered a compelling critique of Harvard University’s financial practices. Despite holding a staggering $53 billion endowment, the institution is turning to bond sales and blaming the Trump administration for funding concerns.
Dr. Swain pushes back on the narrative, arguing that the issue isn’t politics — it’s accountability. “We need transparency on how these funds are spent,” she says. “Universities like Harvard should not continue to receive public funding when there’s little oversight on how they use the money they already have.”
