Smith raises $486 million

Smith’s fundraising goal was exceeded. Amazing amount of money and a large chunk of it is going to financial aid.

I wonder if they will now restore “need blind” admissions. Then again, endowment doesn’t seem to equate to being “need blind”. Barnard’s endowment is only $350 million and they are need blind and full need. I hope Smith rectifies the situation.
