Cornell’s endowment is critical to both the survival as well as the quality of the University. Peer Universities have now released their financial returns for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, and Cornell’s investment gurus have produced middle of the pack results, at 8.7%. By comparison, the S&P 500 index grew 22.7% during that period.
On Monday, April 22, Cornell announced the results of two Cornell student referenda which asked students if Cornell should call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, as well as if Cornell should divest from weapons manufacturers such as Boeing, BAE Systems, General Dynamics and others. Both measures passed, with a 2:1 ratio voting yes to both measures, with around 47% undergraduate student participation.
