Description:
On March 21, the roughly 70 employees of the Schuler Education Foundation, based in the affluent suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois, were summoned to an emergency all-hands meeting. Over the past two-plus decades, the nonprofit founded and funded by a former president of healthcare giant Abbott Laboratories, Jack Schuler, had spent at least $150 million counseling and tutoring more than 1,800 low-income students from Chicago and Milwaukee-area high schools to help them gain admission to elite colleges; those colleges in turn covered most (if not all) of the students’ tuition and other costs.<br/><br/>The employees, who first had to certify they wouldn’t record anything, were let into a Zoom room where the nonprofit’s executive director Joanne Bertsch read from a script announcing that the foundation would shut down on May 24. Everyone would be let go except for a skeleton crew of seven college counselors left to support students through August. <br/><br/>0:00 Introduction<br/>0:15 How Our Reporters Found Out About Jack Schuler<br/>3:05 Reporting On The Schuler Foundation<br/>5:45 Losing Money In The Market<br/>8:50 The Role Of Healthcare Stocks<br/>12:23 The Impact On Students And Colleges<br/>16:05 How The Foundation Behaved As Their Investments Lost Value<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/giacomotognini/2024/04/16/inside-the-collapse-of-a-former-billionaires-foundation-for-low-income-students/?sh=b52a7d62f78b<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
