I believe the concept of alumni donating to the university will die out with the boomers. Xers, millennials, and zoomers have a brutal amount of student loans to pay off. If they ever get paid off, the last thing they want to do is willingly donate to their Alma mater. My loans all got paid off and I have no inclination to give them another dime. I’ve said as such before to alumni organizations and got the “we’re sorry you feel that way” spiel. I think this will rapidly accelerate the decline of colleges, especially the private ones. As mentioned before, we are down 8.43% from peak attendance but if we remove the turd worlders, it’s likely well into the double digits. I’m sure the numbers are out there but I can’t be assed at the moment to dig in deeper. But I think college in 80 years will resemble what college used to be 80 years ago: just something for the very rich and very intelligent.
