[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The development office has quickly become huge under the new advancement head. And check out the job listings where they are looking for 5 more hires to start immediately.[/quote]

They make more money for the school than they spend on the salaries.  And they are replacing attrition, not expanding the staff.[/quote]

Making more money for the school than their salaries is not the question. That’s a basic principle of independent school advancement, and it would be a serious problem if that was not the case.

The question is whether the development office is needlessly bloated, which it is. Also, they are absolutely expanding the staff, as confirmed to me by someone in the office.[/quote]

So what? What is the problem with a private school trying to raise money to make the best possible institution for its students?

Parents complain when a campus looks shabby or when teachers are subpar, or when programs get cut.

So now people are complaining because the fundraising staff is bloated.

WTF.[/quote]
