In a recent appearance on Cow Guy Close, Dr. Carol Swain offered a compelling critique of Harvard University’s financial practices. Despite holding a staggering $53 billion endowment, the institution is turning to bond sales and blaming the Trump administration for funding concerns.

Dr. Swain pushes back on the narrative, arguing that the issue isn’t politics — it’s accountability. “We need transparency on how these funds are spent,” she says. “Universities like Harvard should not continue to receive public funding when there’s little oversight on how they use the money they already have.”

Watch the full interview to hear Dr. Swain’s insights on:

  • The real reason behind Harvard’s bond sales
  • Why massive endowments aren’t protecting students or taxpayers
  • How elite institutions manipulate public perception for political gain
