There is a considerable correlation between those two things. There are decisions that have to be made like a business at schools, that can't be denied, but things like this aren't among them. This is in the realm of the provost, whereas the comptroller is the one that should be focusing on business activities.

And failing to treat them as a business has been the demise of a few. If if I recall from an earlier conversation you are very involved in the business side of higher education. And if you remember from that same conversation, so am I.

To state there's not a difference in the way a public and private institution are funded is absurd and it is the biggest difference. If I am a big endower at a private institution and I have heartburn with staff faculty walking out on my school, a fellow christian, my former Governor, and current VP. It has a tremendous greater impact than if I'm that same person at a public university.  And the private institution may be much more motivated to give me satisfaction.
