Progressive Billionaire George Soros Commits $500M To Private College In NY

[CONSERVATIVEBRIEF] Far-left billionaire George Soros

...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
has committed $500 million to a private liberal arts college in New York that seeks to enrich "democratic discourse by training tomorrow’s thought leaders."

Bard College announced that the donation is a "gift" and described it as "among the largest ever made to higher education in the United States."

The university said the funding "will facilitate and strengthen Bard’s exemplary educational and social initiatives, establish the College’s most substantial endowment ever, and set the stage for a $1 billion endowment drive."

"This is the most historic moment since the college’s founding in 1860," said Bard College President Leon Botstein. "When this endowment drive is complete, Bard will have a $1 billion endowment, which will ensure its pioneering mission and its academic excellence for the future."

#3 I took one of my kids on a tour of Bard some years ago. The young lady leading the tour was stoned out of her gourd. So Soros needs to think in terms of "tomorrow's ~~thought~~ hallucination leaders."

#5 Bard is tiny. It's not even a research university let alone a Tier One.

Aside from baksheesh, what the hell would a tiny liberal arts college known for English majors spend half a billion on?

What is Soros up to here? What's not being publicized?

#6 I think it was in 1992 that, for some reason, I came up with the idea of dropping nuclear bombs on all six Ivy League universities. Nothing has moved me off that position since then, and this is simply another example of why this needs to happen.

#7 Something doesn't smell right here. Soros has no connection at all to any other things that this college is famous for Dash music, art, literature.

What's the quo for Soros's 500 million quid?
What's he hiding?

#8 In the poorhouse of liberal arts,
Who knows how to soften smart hearts?
"So handsome!" "And funny."
"His words are like..." "Money!"
Bard's sure fallen hard for György Schwartz.
