Those are all decisions the university leadership made. David Tepper (?) doesn't run the school - the university leadership decided to make those decisions to get the money. They could have said "this isn't sustainable", and their hands weren't tied.

"Your $100m gift will cost us $200m, we can't accept it as currently stipulated".

All university leadership decisions that they failed on.
