Brian Galle: Well-heeled universities could prevent harm to workers and students in the current crisis if they spent some of their massive endowments, rather than establishing austerity plans

Law prof Brian Galle has written If Not Now, When: Why Won’t Universities Spend Their Money?  In it, he explains why well-heeled universities should not curtail spending during economic downturns. Rather, he says, it makes sense for those schools to spend their money now, protecting the schools' workers and students in the process.
