Fox News is indeed large . I ' m waiting for the It ' s Obama ' s fault endless stream of blaming when this orange dope fails . <| sep |> I need him to make more queens ! <| sep |>. I ' m Asian so mom can most definitely tell a 20 something what to do n <| sep |> Humans travelling over 50 MPH and then abruptly stopping . <| sep |> You can ' t trade fishbugs , gotta catch them yourself unfortunately p <| sep |> just a reminder . The University doesn ' t get to pick where funding goes , unless it goes into general revenue . those millions you mention , were directed toward science and engineering lab infrastructure , it can ' t go anywhere else , in a twist of fate , if the roofs of the buildings that these labs are in need replacement or are leaking , that money can ' t go there , even if the building is falling apart . Because the money has been directly provisioned by the government to go for a specific purpose , ie lab infrastructure upgrades . The UofA , more specifically the ProvostPresidentBoG get to choose where general revenue goes , but not much else . Why are new buildings being built , when old ones are falling apart ? Capital vs Operational budget . Gov ' ts and others want to be seen giving a new building to the university , but the operational budget gets stretched further , because those same people didn ' t give any money to actually upkeep or employ people in it , or use that building . Just build it . And , again , the University can ' t just move money around between those budgets , that would be illegal . Why do engineering and science get brand new buildings Fundraising , political influence and pressure . The new ICE building was significantly funded by donations , which were specifically solicited , and directed toward that new building . Yes , there are loads of financial inefficiencies all over the university , unfortunately some are mandated by law .
