I'm pretty sure Uncle Billy accidentally gave it to Mr. Potter. (That's usually what happens.)

money was "lost"

Did they look in between the sofa cushions?

I know a really nice girl named Shirley. Surely, she would be happy to see her name in Free Republic...

Having a Masters from BU, I was solicited constantly for Jewish related clubs. Somehow, I can't see them really
supporting Mohammedan "charities".

But you never know. They allow (or did) murderers and other convicts to earn degrees while in prison (for free).
They've produced a couple of well-known and not-so-well known plagarists. They actually canned a dean for quoting
w/o attributing something from Medved in a speech. Or so they said that was the reason.

What else? Some shoddy work by their School of Public Health trying to over turn the Second Amendment a year or so ago.

And lastly, I find it hard to believe that John Silber would let slip away $3M w/o knowing where it went.

I would also check to see how many politically-correct campus organizations got some of it.

Just the payoffs to the various union and elected thugs would eat up a million or so. Then there are the studies, plans, revisions, another million. Throw in a lawsuit, and you got nothing.

Grocery entrepreneur David Mugar said he had been told the money was "lost" through
poor accounting and could not be identified among university funds.

At first I thought this would mean that accounting firms might want to bypass BU
when it came time to recruit new accounting grads from BU.

But with all the "creative accounting" of the late 1990s, maybe this will
make BU the hotspot for recruiting new accounting grads.
