>Ito wasn't guilty of doing rogue fundraising
He sort of was. I don't remember all the details but he apparently deliberately obscured where the money was coming from.
>The President of the University signed off
As I recall, he did sign a routine thank you letter but it was a committee of three people in treasurer's office who actually OKd it. Two had already left and the EVP of finance resigned to do a pursue other interests sort of thing, presumably because he saw the writing on the wall.
I would guess it was a very near thing for Reif but he didn't quite have his fingerprints on it.
