In 1969, the Ivy League schools collected an average of $89,200 in revenues per student in today’s dollars. By 2019, the real revenues of Ivy League universities had exploded to $264,800 per student—a nearly threefold increase over 50 years. You read that correctly— for every one of their students, Ivy League schools collect more than a quarter million dollars in revenue each year. These are the findings of a new working paper by economists Zachary Bleemer and Jesse Rothstein, who have construct
