[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In kind contributions and lavish food expenses don’t do much for FA. That’s why net income matters. Field posted a job for a development exec - and has had a few over the last three years that left.

3-4 percent is not a squabble. It does indeed make a difference. Do the math. That’s 10-15 kids that could get aid. Or. The $ could just go to paying the HOS more money and bonus.

Long winded way of answering the OP question which is yes. Full pay candidates with subpar qualifications do jump up the list. [/quote]

I think you're doing the wrong math problem.  An extra $500K for FA at $40K per kid, is a dozen additional kids that are getting FA at Field as compared to Burke.  Full pay candidates are needed to keep all these schools running.  That said, kudos to both schools for offering the FA they do.  And if Field posted a job and is expanding their development office that's one thing, but they've had the same person as director of development for at least a couple years.[/quote]
