      They call their annual meeting an occasion for 'multiple border crossings" I used to attend these meetings which were basically elaborate genuflections to Mellon https://chcinetwork.org/news/a-look-back-at-the-2021-chci-annual-meeting …

      I briefly worked at the Mellon Foundation in 2004. It was a surreal experience. I remember at one directors' meeting the guy in charge of investing the endowment got in trouble because a WV coal mine Mellon owned had a 20% profit, and they couldn't figure out how to spend it all

      The Endowment has blown up after 2008 crisis. They can't spend that $$ fast enough and like British Empire, they create the good colonized, to be separated from the bad colonized. Those who refuse Medical Humanities for instance.

      This was a genuine crisis in my time there. There's some statutory minimum on how much of its endowment a foundation must spend each year, and Mellon was making so much from investments that they were in panic mode over how to spend enough of the money.

      The recipient mix was also surreal. It was a combination of NYC opera and museums, various humanities consortia of unclear purpose and impenetrable mission statements, preposterous technology white elephants (like Mitch Kapor's effort to replace Outlook) and God knows what else.

          The UC got some of that $$ for strange projects like alt ac careers, Documenting War, etc. Mellon was throwing $$ at universities and non profits would be fascinating to do a study of what they funded as a result of their overperforming endowment
