Do colleges make their budgets public? When a program is taking too long to run the first step is to profile. What does the data say on college costs? > But that is a tangential problem, in that wealthy donors want to give big gifts for vanity projects rather than to, say, scholarship funds. In the past I've felt quite motivated to give to scholarship funds. It resonates a lot if you yourself relied on scholarships to go to college. But I feel somewhat more cynical about this since I've seen costs spiraling out of control. The actual price of college can have anything bundled in there. I want to support students, but I feel less good about supporting ballooning costs that are twice inflation when I haven't heard a good reason for this.
