San Jose State University, the university i currently go to, is going through a budget crisis. Tuition is increasing, classes are being cut, theres not enough teachers etc. However, the university seems to have enough money in order to make a new student health center, expand the sport comlex, and remodeling. A few years back there was a bit of a scandel were the head of a department used school money to remodel his mansion. |
Similar things happened at my school. They even completely remodeled one building twice in about three years, when it looked perfectly fine originally, and while nicer, looked perfectly fine after the first remodel too, but they apparently needed to redo it yet again.
One thing you need to consider though is oftentimes money provided to schools has conditions attached to it. For example, I could provide $10,000 a year towards my school, but say it must be used on new computers in an Accounting lab every single year. Even though the school really doesn't need this, it is the only thing they can spend it on, so it winds up appearing ridiculous to others.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
