Its called a "return on investment". You don't 'donate' millions of dollars, and have a building named after you out of love for education.

You do it for your name, your legacy, and to guarantee spots for your family.

The article isn't about this. It's about literal bribes.

And "Donations" like what I describe aren't bribes?

This is only slightly different classes of bribes. They both are bribes.

> slightly different

This is ridiculous. One benefits lots of students, one benefits just your kid.
