From TFA : The shortage of classroom space is an emergency situation. Of course, athletic facilities can be considered a luxury, but the same cannot be said of classrooms

With an average tuition fees of 50k wtf are they doing? The world is moving on and this is no way to stay competitive in the education market.

Seeing the amount 50k written out like that today, it seems like a pretty good deal. It looks like less the amount of annual equity that an entry level software developer makes. It's the price of a used truck, a kitchen remodel, a really nice family vacation for a month, etc.

Wtf kind of entry level software jobs are you talking about lol? 50k is 11k more than the median family income here in Canada. You're right, though, it's still less than a new truck.

The median family isn't full of software developers.

They have to build up their endowment to compare to other elite schools, they can't spend it on students.
