The lead gift on a horse barn? What are we talking $500k?

He got to lead the board for FOUR years and only gave that much?

Jeez.

Where do y'all keep getting this $1.2 number... End of 2018, it was 1.31... Probably close to $1.5 if it kept pace with the market.. There is so much bad information on this thread.

Please, feel free to correct my numbers. https://www.utdallas.edu/development/endowments/endowment-update-fiscal-2018/

The UT Dallas endowment is $558 million. It was previously $250 million in 2012. At that rate of growth, they will catch Baylor in approximately 21 years. Baylor is 175 years old, UT-Dallas is ....50 years old.
Bottom line, they have a tremendous growth rate, largely due to successful inflows of capital.

Of course, they aren't saddled with 39 Regents that give nothing to their endowment, so I guess you could say they have an advantage.
This is a big issue.

If you are gonna sit on the board of Regents and cost Baylor money every time you horribly mismanage a scandal....you should at least be forking over big bucks for our endowment.
Yep, some of those Regents, by virtue of ignorance and lack of vision, actually subtract value from Baylor. We just took the hit on a liability that was completely preventable, and now they've gone back to their bunker mentality. What's the point?

Whether we have 12 regents, 39 regents, 120 regents, I don't care, but at the very LEAST, require the regents to give money to Baylor.



I thought many of past problems were that many regents were picked based on giving.



Baylor's big money donors, have for the most part been excellent. Few are better than:

  • Paul Foster
  • Mark Hurd
  • Drayton
  • Jim Turner.

Now, part of my reasoning is that some of these fine donors, bring 'other' board experience. So we aren't just getting sources of funds, but people with signifcant board leadership experience.
if we got someone with a net worth north of $500 mil, they could very well be a problem, but that's never happened. We're getting the opposite, we're getting people that haven't donated, but demand control with no accountability. Remember, we have yet to see any regents that were sanctioned as a result of the football scandal. It's like a cocktail party with drunk people holding shotguns.

It's possible, because of privacy, that there are some that have given but we simply don't know.
How long was Dary Stone a regent? what were the donation track records of:
-Dary Stone
-Richard Willis
-Neal T.(Buddy) Jones.

I can find no record of a significant donation...
Sanctioned? Like what ..... I'm sure there are few that won't be invited back,

How much has Baylor spent on new buildings.

B School
Law School
McClane Stadium
Nutrition Center
Dorms

1 Billion ?

Don't know all the details but bet few have huge campus expansion and huge endowment increase at the same time.


Incorrect, in some cases, these universities have spent MORE than Baylor. TCU has funded both a basketball arena and football stadium in more or less the same time.

Also, much of the spend in Baylor's case(the stadium and science bldg) was funded by debt increases. Meaning the balance sheet position was offset by increases in liability. So the net balance sheet position improved only marginally. The assets increased, but so did the debt.

Everyone wants their name on a building, the tough part is paying for the unspectacular costs, like maintenance, repairs, renovations, furniture, infrastructure.

Endowment numbers are skewed a bit too, we'd love to adjust that to a per-student basis, but with 16k students, that's another reason the endowment needs to increase.



Anyone know if that debt for building was low interest bonds funded by the endowment? That could explain a low rate of return.

Don't forget about the puppet master who was a bleeding heart liberal Democrat lobbyist from Austin. To get rid of Ken Starr, he decided to burn down the Baylor football program. I like to refer to him as the -$300 million dollar man. He ran off more donors and contributors than anyone in the history of Baylor. I am one of them.

In fact, no responsible, effective, well-led board allows anyone on that board to be involved in the daily operations of the organization. "Operations" is not in their job description and anything beyond setting policy, budgets/finances and hiring/firing the CEO or Prez, in this case, is an overreach that always undermines institutional integrity. That's been a problem at BU now since the early 2000's. Hopefully, new blood will restore integrity within the university.

Baylor lost a very good president candidate because Willis actively tried to run her Provost office on a daily basis. He violated his duty as a BOR member and she said,"no thank you". She is now president of another Baptist university.

If the board members are still going directly to personnel to micromanage their business and overstep their lines of authority, we will have another fraud in the near future.

That lack of reporting and authority, as specifically violated by Willis, is the root cause IMO of the scandals.

Btw, no one on the board had a problem with Willis micromanaging the person in question.

They were silent.

Might be a minor point here, but Tellme said "if"", not that they were "still". Don't know the poster but I'd guess he/she wrote correctly what was intended.

Current board is NOT the board from 2015-2017 or so and I'd guess we'll see what shakes out. It's wise for them to take a low profile approach right now, IMO. And I understand there is a movement to reduce the size of the board, which is prolly good.

Kind of ironic in a way that the board and admin are in a bit of a "proving business" state right now. Time will help, I think. We'll see.

For an entity of this size, you can't be a day late and a dollar short, that tends to have a cost. Also, what's the risk of being subpar on these matters? Have we already not seen first hand those costs?

The President reports directly to the Board. The AD reports to the president.
The faculty report administratively to those two personnel.

the key question I would be worried about today is what I suggested above and not to lecture anyone, but I'll repeat by saying any regent circumventing communication protocols and going directly to administrators needs to be removed.

No questions asked.

Wasn't it women from the Equestrian program that first complained about female sexual problems at Baylor? Did we actually take only $500k to open up that costly legal mess?

If our endowment as only increased $200k in 14 years everyone should be fired. What kind of leadership does this practice?

The lead gift on a horse barn? What are we talking $500k?

He got to lead the board for FOUR years and only gave that much?

Jeez.
Wasn't it women from the Equestrian program that first complained about female sexual problems at Baylor? Did we actually take only $500k to open up that costly legal mess?

If our endowment as only increased $200k in 14 years everyone should be fired. What kind of leadership does this practice?
They like spending everyone else's money, they won't give their own.
During the debacle, they had more than a few BMD's tell them in no uncertain terms what they thought of their performance. Shouldn't that be disclosed in the board minutes???

We can't afford the status quo of this same circle of regents for another 14 years, our competition will easily outpace us.

As you said, that'sa function of aggressive fund raising, not performance of investments.

Where do y'all keep getting this $1.2 number... End of 2018, it was 1.31... Probably close to $1.5 if it kept pace with the market.. There is so much bad information on this thread.

Please, feel free to correct my numbers. https://www.utdallas.edu/development/endowments/endowment-update-fiscal-2018/

The UT Dallas endowment is $558 million. It was previously $250 million in 2012. At that rate of growth, they will catch Baylor in approximately 21 years. Baylor is 175 years old, UT-Dallas is ....50 years old.
Bottom line, they have a tremendous growth rate, largely due to successful inflows of capital.

Of course, they aren't saddled with 39 Regents that give nothing to their endowment, so I guess you could say they have an advantage.
This is a big issue.

If you are gonna sit on the board of Regents and cost Baylor money every time you horribly mismanage a scandal....you should at least be forking over big bucks for our endowment.
Their time is extremely valuable and we should be thankful that they serve.
