_________________________Jeff Neal, a spokesperson for Harvard, said that endowments are not like bank accounts, where money is easily deposited or withdrawn. Mitchell, at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, says that many schools have small endowments, or have no endowments at all. Those schools cannot use their endowment to pay expenses in an emergency. "Only a very small segment [of schools] that can really look at endowment as a viable safety net in that regard." ___________________________Jeff Neal哈佛大学的发言人表示,捐赠基金不想银行账目那么容易存取. 预算和政策优先研究中心专家Michael Mitchell说:很多学校都有小型的捐赠基金,或者直接没有捐赠基金.这些学校在紧急情况下都不能动用捐赠基金来应付开支. "只有很少一部分学校在这方面是一个可见的安全系统,让大家真正看到捐赠资金."
