The point about head coaches is interesting, because while NYU has athletic programs, the funding (if I remember correctly) is hugely less than that than other private schools. NYU students just don't care about athletics.
Two additional points:
1) Conde Nast gives loans to editors and higher ups. [1] [2]
2) Having worked with some of the "all star" professors in varying capacities (and getting a glimpse, however small, of the bargaining process) a lot of other universities are often trying to poach research professors from NYU. Housing, which is a hugely hard "thing" to solve in NYC, is a large bargaining chip.
- mathattack 13y agoTrue - I was generalizing about coaches. But... Coaches are the highest paid public employees in most states. (http://deadspin.com/infographic-is-your-states-highest-paid-employee-a-co-489635228 http://deadspin.com/infographic-is-your-states-highest-paid-...) And I hear you on the necessity of this benefit. It's like anything else, if you want the best of the best in a competitive market, you have to find a way to pay them.
