Colleges use restricted donor funds to keep operations running

Reported · Written up by our desk · Sectors

WSJ Markets says some struggling colleges are turning to restricted donor funds to help cover operating needs, as they work to keep core expenses under control.

The outlet also notes that Big Tech earnings are contributing to divergent valuation moves across parts of the market.

WSJ Markets further states that the Kremlin is pressuring more Russians into fighting in Ukraine, a development it frames alongside other market-moving themes.
