    The NYT had a story today about Cooper Union. Quite interesting is this line: "The college also invested $32 million of that borrowing in its endowment, calculating that the endowment investments would earn a higher rate of return than the interest Cooper was paying on the loan. That turned out to be a bad bet when the recession hit."

    They took a loan for $32 million and gambled with it. That is not responsible behavior.
