Macalester is Rich on Paper, But It Doesn't Control Its Wealth.
Healy, Patrick
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n19 pA37-A38 Jan 17 1997
Half the endowment of Macalester College (Minnesota) is controlled by the Readers Digest Association, not the college. Macalester can not sell the poorly-performing stocks. Income from the stocks supports a need-blind admissions policy. Some faculty feel the endowment should be used to further enhance the college's distinctiveness. (MSE)
