Title: Materialism destroyed Silber
Review: Was there ever a greedier university president than John Silber? A man who larded his board of trustees with non-entities to whom he doles out over $30 million worth of business every year in exchange for the USA's highest university president salary? He whined his way into a no interest loan - later forgiven completely - because living in the president's house had excluded him from the housiing market?! He once proposed taking our insurance policies on BU students, quipping that, in some cases, their deaths would be the only contribution they'd ever make. And of course, the final indignity - a $2 million payout to his hand-chosen successor whom Silber had fired before he ever started the job. Other universities that started at the same point that BU in the 1970s have gone much further than BU. Silber has stunted the university for years.
Is the review positive or negative?
