Endowments and countercyclical trending

Your observations are correct in that endowments are down across the board in traditional non-profit schools. However, the for-profit schools are not faced with this issue and are doing very well. The hope is that the for-profit education delivery models, the recession and the Obama education policy will finally put natural controls in place so that college once again becomes affordable to everyone.
