Maybe its just me thats ignorant of this, but I didn't realize that universities sold bonds....
So while I look at the endowments of 1.5 Billion, I falsely assumed that meant PSU was not in debt. In actuality, they are a bit over 1 Billion in debt.
Just a little extra info....

"I won’t tell you exactly what it’s about, but this is typical of what might happen,'' he said. "I said, ‘Tom, do you want to do this?’ He said, ‘I don’t think I do. I think it’s too much or too strong or whatever.’ I said, ‘well, we might have to.’ And he goes, ‘well, if we have to, then you’ve got to tell me, because I won’t do it.’ And I said, ‘OK, then I might have to tell you. Fine.'''

All colleges and universities bond to build; public & private. Almost none build without. It's SOP to bond, build, and then try to fundraie to help pay it down. State Penn's are gubmint secured bonds. This is no biggie.

Yah, I get that now. I hadn't given it much thought, just always see the massive Endowments and assumed these universities were not in debt.
Not a big deal, just something I didn't know.
