Makes me sick.
MIT is so very, very overcapitalized.
These things don't lead to anything other than a rich guy getting his name on a building, and more corruption in academia. By far the best thing which could happen to MIT would be for 95% of the endowment to go up in a poof of smoke, bringing it back to nineties levels. That's the end of the period when the Institute did high-integrity research.
It sounds like you want a return to a time before a lot of the government research money coming to institutions like MIT was gutted.
