The key point in the thread is that they're giving back their CARES Act funding as they know smaller colleges need it more than they do. Stanford has a $26B+ endowment... they'll be just fine.

Harvard, on the other hand, has a ~$41B endowment, and last I read they're taking the CARES Act funding. They're taking a lot of heat for not returning the funding, instead saying they'll "use 100% of it for students." Stanford is taking the higher road here.


Stanford has a $27 billion endowment, having doubled in the last decade alone.
