On February 8, President Martin received a joint letter from the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Ways and Means requesting information about Amherst’s endowment. The leaders of the 55 other U.S. private college and universities with endowments of $1 billion or more were sent the same query. Amherst submitted its reply on April 1, and we are pleased to share that response.
