Harvard New Fundraising Campaign

Recently Harvard asked donors to contribute $6.5 billion.  Does this confirm what we have discussed all along in this site i.e:

  1. Colleges’ financial situation is in an odd?
  2. Colleges just cannot keep up with the raising operational cost due to their past unfortunate decisions such as on tenure system, over investment and over spending?
  3. Colleges are not ready to embrace the new paradigms such as IRI which will help them to operate more efficiently?
  4. Colleges just cannot and are not willing to give up and walk out their comfort zone?

Recently we have published salary of selected 50 colleges in the US.  Along with statistical studies to find the causes of college tuition and student loan increases.  Please click here to read the whole article.  The results of the study show that salary of full professor and school administrators positively correlate with student loan increases. Please tell us what you guys think?
