Can't he designate one person to make sure that a $100 million investment works out better?

  Sort of too late now... but could probably have been done by not donating the lump sum, but setting up a "trust fund" that would give out money (or not) for specific projects. This probably would have been met with more resistance and more discussions, because it easily looks like someone external enforcing a specific way, so everybody who is unhappy complains about that. And Zuckerberg probably gives a good enemy figure for many in that regard. Also, the structural issues would remain and even more impossible to tackle, so I think a fund mostly could have slowed the process and probably would have redirected the money to more small-scale issues (because these are easier to get through). Which probably would have been the better alternative with what we know now...

    Yeah, dropping in $100 million at once without seemingly much of a vision doesn't seem exceedingly prudent.
