Universities waste money in a lot of ways - library funding is not one of them.

  Well, paying for journals more expensive than sci-hub is largely a waste. And I've seen lots of renovations of libraries which add a lot of pretty luxurious study space... although I'm not sure that was on the library budget.

    Consider that if noone paid for their journals then Sci-Hub would not exist. Because noone would be able to share their accounts to log in to the content.

      Sure, I don't mean that too literally. But the current system seems to syphon huge amounts of money to a few owners, and may well be replaced in the not-too-distant future. Websites do not cost $30/article to run.
