Money is really important, probably the single most important constraint for state universities.
- vmception 5y agoyes, I understand the perverse incentives that led to greenlighting this. its also not an excuse. they should reject the $200 million donation and hope Munger sends another with no restrictions. that's where we are at.
- indymike 5y agoMaybe build the $200M dorm instead of the $2B dorm?
- falcolas 5y agoHis money represents less than 10% of the final cost of the dorm, while retaining 100% of the design rights. Something's happening here that's more than just the money.
- throwaway75787 5y agoNo, it's just the money. It's just the perverse disconnect between the wealthy, and those just trying to get by. It's Mr. Burns hanging a "you're here forever" sign, or Kanye West ranting about his napkin design for the iPlane in the Oval Office while dropping a few "motherfucker"s.
