Aren't US universities paying millions of dollars for their football coaches and stadiums? They can afford it, of course doesn't mean they will.
There are donors who donate to the sports teams and donors who donate to the academic side etc it’s different money the institutions have to keep separate
Mine sure isn't. We were having funding problems before the pandemic.
so did ours state university system in the west coast, apparently they had been suffering from enrollment issue for years(covid just made it worst because people dint learn anything by being only on online classes, plus almost no job prospects after graduations), last i read on latest news is they are enticing HS to enroll early, if they complete certain requirements(so guaranteed seats in the state uni), its a bandaid. Cant say the same for the University or UC system(which i heard is not affected for the moment.
and pre-pandemic , people were already not happy with how little they got out of thier university(wet lab experience, x experience)
It's not as simple as that. Where money comes from and goes to are complicated enough, but paying $100k sponsorship, per year, per person hired from abroad would be just like adding that sum to their payroll, and that would monkey wrench the gears spectacularly.
