My comp sci building was the worst building out on the campus. We did get brand new rec centers and redid sports complexes for the fun of it.

The irony is the university still calls for alumni donations.......

View on HN

More than one university with a $1B endowment fund still asks for donations too.

Non-profits are just like any other corporation in terms of how much revenue they want: the just want more. A company can imagine more ways to invest and make more. A non profit can think of many more things to do in keeping with its mission. Whether that's expanding a school or making the school nicer.

The demand for funds in insatiable, regardless of whom.

All schools with greater than $1b endowments still ask for donations. What school doesn't ask for donations?
