The President is the head of the organization; hired to do what's best for the long-term health of the university. If the university is making bad decisions and he's worried about extending his $1m+ salary, there's a conflict there, agreed? This means that the boosters, alumni, and all those who wailed and gnashed their teeth when Boston U. got rid of football many years ago, predicting doom, well they were wrong. The President was right.

Every time a President has tried to put some reason into the mix, they've been ousted, so many of them have gotten the message. Look at West Virginia which has a massive black hole caused by pursuits  outside the academic side (sports and a massive new building for an MBA program) which responded by axing many central and crucial departments (Math, English, etc.)

We've seen plenty of examples in the corporate world where the incentive to maintain high salaries and bonuses leads to very poor decisions which hurt the company in the long run. This is who the Presidents remind me of.
