>I realize places like Yale try to be like old, exclusive country clubs. But if that’s the case then they should be taxed on that money.

How would this be enforced? That private universities can't get tax exempt status if they don't spend a certain % of their net assets each year? Doesn't this effectively penalize organizations operating on an endowment funding model?



Lots of people have wanted to do just that for a long time. At least this proposal gives the universities a (perhaps temporary) way out.
