The Core Endowment
The Core Endowment, occasionally referred to as The Endowment for the Core, is an imaginary $100 million dollars intended to ensure the future of the Core Curriculum. The idea is that, since the Core is very expensive (and also mostly about books), for its future to be secure it needs money that cannot be spent on anything else.
The idea of the Core Endowment was first floated in the furor of Moodygate. Since that furor died down, so too have the frequency of its mentions.
