    50 billion dollars is how much the Harvard endowment is worth. Money they can draw from for any reason including to hire the best Harvard lawyers to fight the government with or to pay ongoing costs of drinking the school of the government takes away any money they were previously giving the school. Other schools don’t have this type of money so they have to do what the government says or cease to exist.
