Loyola University? 11-05-08 03:20 PM - Post#52972
In response to Lou
Happy to say that things never change. College or U, Loyola still prepares you for a long career in at least one occupation...
Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Bryan Gunderson tried to master the intricacies of structured-equity investments until he lost his job at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Now he's learning the subtleties of Purple Hooters.
After collecting his last severance check in August and getting no offers from more than 100 resumes he sent to friends, companies and employment agencies, the 25-year-old graduate of Loyola College in Baltimore decided to go to B-school -- for bartending.
``It's come to the point where, yes, I need another job,'' said Gunderson, who has a bachelor's degree in finance and is looking for bartending work. ``I always frequent bars, so why not be on the other side?''

Loyola University? 11-07-08 11:02 AM - Post#53018

the most surprising thing to me was how small the endowment fund was and is. $165 million is now $130 million. That's not quite university status...
Then again, it probably ranks in the top 3% for cash balances among all tax-exempt nonprofits.
That's kind of a crazy point. Our endowment is not counting on bake sales and car washes for revenue. I would hope we are in the top 1% of all tax-exempt non profits in the U.S. Unfortunately, we're only competing with Universities, not the local Key Club.
For percpective, yesterday someone gave $300 million to the University of Chicago's Business School. Most universities count their endowments with a $B not an $M. Loyola's is paltry in comparison.

It might be a crazy point from Loyola's perspective, but it is not from my perspective. Loyola is seeking my tax-deductible donation. Compared to U. of Chicago, Loyola can make the point they need it more. But compared to the local St. Vincent dePaul Society, tougher to make that point. Loyola has a nine-figure savings account, is growing expenses at 2x inflation, and sending 21 year olds out into the world with thousands in debt. And they want my money.
I think it takes a pretty huge pair to sit there with $115mm in the bank and pay students to beg you for money. But I am a nasty old curmudgeon, I will admit.

The school changed its name from Loyola College to Loyola University in 2009, a switch Patsos credits for drawing greater interest in his program.

By the way, this is the greatest post in the history of this message board. I can't believe I missed it the first time 2 years ago.... RW's one and only contribution. Classic.
