After making $25 million off the endowment in the 1997 fiscal year, the college made a mere $1.5 c million last year in its return.

"If you go to Jordan, it's an even better heaven." Al-Khayyat said Americans have many misconceptions about her country from the negative images in the media. When students at Ithaca College question her about Jordan, she said they frame the questions in a nega­ tive light, imposing their own standards and stereotypes. "What I don't like sometimes is when peo­ ple approach you the wrong way, by ques­ tioning what you're doing in a negative way, like, 'Oh my God, you have Hard Rock Cafe?"' Another international student, freshman IfthekarChowdhury, said that American stu­ dents do not understand cultural practices dif­ ferent from their own. Chowdhury, who prac­ tices Islam, prays five times a day. He said that at first his roommates did not understand, but they accepted his actions after he ex­ plained the practice to them. Al-Khayyat, who is also a Muslim, said that her international friends do not need ex­ planations when she fasts for Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, or if they do, they ask tactful questions.
