Prediction Not checkable as stated

Chamath: Ivy League schools will lose donations and government funding

“I expect that trend across the IVs to go way up. I expect Contributions to go down. I expect governments to ratchet down their spending in those schools, and I expect some folks to try to take away their nonprofit status.”
