#1 Oberlin is finished.

$32m will eat up most of their operating budget. Note that you can't use the endowment to fund operations because the endowment has strings attached by the donors: "use my money ONLY for research," or to build science labs or engineering buildings etc.

This means Oberlin won't be able to offer financial aid to would-be SJW applicants to Oberlin, which means that the only way out of Oberlin's financial hole is to attract super-wealthy applicants willing to drop nearly half a million $$$$ on a buttwipe BA gained through 4+ years of SJW nonsense.

There are plenty such people, but they will not be going to Oberlin - they can go to any of 20+ little liberal arts colleges that are more financially-stable than Oberlin.

Oberlin is toast.
