So our school has announced it’s 1.36million dollar investment towards helping to help reduce AIDS in India. While that’s all good and noble of us… I can’t help to think of what ‘benefits’ we’ll be getting in return… and at the same time how wasteful this ‘good deed’ seems another point of view.

There are usually two types of ‘good deeds’ the ones that do it and want nothing in return, and the ones that expect double in return. I find this ‘helping India’ bit the later of the two. Sure you save a few horny teens (when put that way… it doesn’t sound that amazing of a task does it?) but at the same time this program will get national acclaim for doing good for the world. And with national acclaim… comes school prestige…. and following on school prestige would of course be more students want to apply for the school, which equals to more money to put in the pockets of the school administration. Woohoo… so all the administration had to do was talk pretty and they get the credit of ’saving lives!’ and also double their annual salaries… wow… what a dream job eh? Who’d want to be president of a country when you can be president of a University?

And from another point of view… I would have to ask… why are you spending so much money on this when there are so many budget cuts internally? Why do the regular employees have to worry about job security while the administration gets a 30% pay raise?

So now you have a school that APPEARS to be generous and ‘well to do’, and yet… internally you clearly see the corruption. Hm… an exemplary example of greed hiding behind a good deed I would say.
