How can I justify donating money to the institution when it burns it so carelessly?

Couldn't a homeless shelter use some of Swarbrick's bonus? Or maybe a center for sexually abused children?

Let no one say that we dreamed too small

I promise, not one penny of YOUR donation will go to Swarbrick's salary. So what's the big deal?



Isn't that usually how organizations like ND justify things like this?
How they usually justify these things is that having someone

...excellent in these roles generates value to the University that is many, many multiples of the cost.

Our problem is not that we are paying our athletic director around $1.5M per year (as noted below the $3M number is, based on the available evidence, a one-year outlier). Our problem is that Jack Swarbrick is the guy we're paying to be athletic director. These are two separate issues and we should be careful not to conflate them.
