Could you explain this more? At first glace, a large endowment should either free you from worrying about revenue or move your focus to managing an endowment with a school as a side hustle.
> a large endowment should either free you
A large endowment attracts greedy people who then want to make it larger, that is true regardless where you go.
A large endowment requires more management, so you bring in a finance department to manage it. With what metric are those employees going to be evaluated, given that there is always going to be someone who will want the stability of a government job? It's not going to be "just maintain, don't worry". It's going to be "who can get us the most ROI?".
