UML receives $511G donation

LOWELL -- A generous new gift to the University of Massachusetts Lowell will enable campus leaders to bring distinguished advocates for peace and humanitarianism to campus each year, upping the profile of UMass Lowell and continuing in the tradition of the late Rev. Dana McLean Greeley.
The donation from the Greeley Foundation for Peace and Justice for $511,500, including state matching funds, is the second major gift to the university in as many weeks.

What about putting that $511k towards hiring better professors, fixing A/C and heating units in buildings, and improving life for faculty/staff/students around campus? I realize the money was given to the university for a specific purpose, but paying $50,000 to each speaker (which I believe is a good ballpark figure for important speakers) seems like such a massive waste of money.

$50,000 for each speaker is incredibly ridiculous!
