Have you ever wondered what truly defines the value of a college education? The latest rankings from U.S. News & World Report on the best-value national universities offer some intriguing insights. Considering these rankings, we must consider what "value" means to us individually. Is it the return on investment, the quality of education, or something more intangible? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can best measure the value of higher education. #HigherEducation #CollegeRankings #ValueOfEducation https://lnkd.in/gdgmajUe

https://lnkd.in/g_6f-9mn The article is about Baylor University that traded its way to the top of the university endowment performance rankings. It is interesting though how large the endowments are. Harvard at USD 50.7 Billion, Yale at USD 40.7 Billion and Princeton at USD 34.1 Billion. Harvard's endowment is within the range of companies market capitalization like 3M, Estee Lauder, Ford, ENI and Volvo. Makes one think.

Cornell University is making waves in the market by bringing over $1.1 billion in issuance. This includes $500 million taxable tomorrow and $610 million tax-exempt next week. Elite higher education credits are in a different league than most college and university issuers, and there are many reasons these deals will receive strong interest and be heavily over-subscribed. One reason for this is scarcity. The issuer does not often come to market, offering diversification from a NY based issuer that infrequently comes to market. New York portfolios are desperately in need of ways to diversify. Credit quality is another factor that makes these deals attractive. Cornell has an excellent credit rating -- AA from S&P, a nearly $10 billion endowment fund, and strong enrollment. Acceptance rates around 8% indicate solid interest from students. Lastly, interest rates are the highest they have been in over a decade, offering investors a chance to invest at reasonably attractive absolute rates as compared to the recent past. Overall, Cornell University's issuance is generating excitement in the market, and it's easy to see why. #Cornell #HigherEducation #muniland #rates #InvestmentOpportunities

In Weeks 3 & 4 of Winter Term, students across all LSE100 themes have been identifying ways in which positive interventions can be made in complex systems in many different sectors. They have been asking: "how do we create lasting change?", "how can academic research influence policy?" and, simply, "where to begin?" In order to answer these questions, students have been developing their knowledge of systems change theory and researching existing policies or campaigns that have attempted to address the focus problem at the heart of their respective LSE100 group research projects. Together, they have drawn up an initial plan for a policy proposal or strategic plan as means to instigate meaningful and positive change to their selected system. Students prepare for this seminar by watching LSE100 video lectures, featuring contributions from: Prof. Lord Nicholas Stern (LSE Department of Economics), Prof. Paul Apostolidis & Andrew McNeil (LSE Department of Government), Prof. Coretta Phillips (Social Policy), Prof. Tim Newburn (Social Policy), Dr. Savvas Verdis (LSE Cities) Dr Manmit Bhambra and Dr. George Maier, PhD.
