Response to Senators Baucus and Grassley

President Shinn recently had an opportunity to tell the distinctive story of Berea’s historical commitment to low-income families and our four-year scholarships for all students in response to the request from U.S. Senators Baucus’ (D – Montana) and Grassley (R – Iowa). They were seeking information regarding institutional data and procedures on endowment spending from 136 schools with endowments of more than $1 billion. At Berea College, approximately 78% of our annual operating budget is funded by our endowment – a fact that is not matched by any other American college or university. President Shinn also was able to point out that any national policies on required endowment spending could affect Berea College in ways unintended by the policymakers.
