The unexpected additional fall in the endowment will lead to a 6.7 percent decrease in endowment payout this year and another 13 percent in fiscal year 2011. The payout will then remain at this level for the next few years, according to Levin’s statement. To close a projected $150 million annual budget deficit from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2014, Yale unveiled a series of budget-slashing measures similar to those that Harvard has announced over the past...
