It's the easiest way to justify the accelerating administrators incomes. And they say they have to do it to maintain the competitive advantage, over other schools that are doing the exact same thing.

See UC Davis, where they are building a huge new Art Museum, to compete with the one being built right now in Berkeley. Here's the thing, UC Davis is NOT an art school. It's an ag school and should be focusing its resources on that. But no, building an art museum justifies the salaries of all the people that are involved.
