Episode 54 of Inequality Conversations with Fexingo examines why Historically Black Colleges and Universities hold dramatically smaller endowments than predominantly white institutions, and how that funding gap deepens intergenerational wealth inequality. Lucas and Luna break down the numbers: Howard University's $750 million endowment versus Harvard's $50 billion, the impact on student borrowing and loan default rates, and the role of state funding disparities dating back to the Morrill Act of 1890. They also discuss the 'endowment effect' on career outcomes and the emerging policy push for federal matching programs. A concrete look at how institutional underinvestment compounds personal wealth gaps. #HBCU #EndowmentGap #WealthInequality #HowardUniversity #MorrillAct #StudentDebt #IntergenerationalWealth #EconomicJustice #HigherEducation #FundingDisparity #PublicPolicy #FederalMatching #WealthGap #IncomeDistribution #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InequalityConversations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
