Where the Qatar program is open for admission (if they can afford it), this program is not. Reads the release: "The admissions criteria include: Indonesian civil servants or officials nominated by their government ministries." 💰💰💰 At the sovereign level, not student. A big part of the logic is: we need a presence in Asia, and all the China stuff has become a liability over the last few years, so we've backed off of that. Indonesia checks a lot of boxes, including not already being saturated by other U.S. (and U.S.-style) institutions, as Japan and ROK are. |

Were there any talks with the leadership at the Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines, a Jesuit institution widely regarded as the preeminent institution of higher learning in the country?

The University of Georgia just spent $38.5 million on a softball facility. Is this a good use of resources? Shouldn’t schools direct monies to advancing academics? College sports are the tail that wags the dog.

College sports are the tail that wags the dog. Eh, they have unlimited money by virtue of the SEC. I’m not sure money they make via athletics can be spent in areas outside of athletics. |

College sports are the tail that wags the dog. It was paid for by private donations and team reserves, according to a UGA release. Depending on the state, many public universities cannot use state aid for athletics projects and thus rely on big donors. The University of Georgia receives $667 million in state academic aid and $252 million in annual giving. They're not hurting for academics. par.uga.edu/ar/2024/images/PAR2024/PAR_2024_Final.pdf |
