My first secondhand experience with this wasn't even salary. Probably 20 years ago at another small local private school, two SVPs (one of whom was a local business person who had been downsized from their previous exec position and benefited from the buddy hire) ran up a $600 bar tab at a local restaurant. And because they were talking about work, they routed it through expenses. At the time, I was working as a consultant (unrelated to the school) and had to pay the taxes on my hotel stays when I traveled because they were greater than the allowed GSA per diem and alcohol wasn't even allowed to be expensed. It cost me money to travel. Definitely different rules for different people.

There is a lot of fat to be trimmed at places with subsidized revenue like schools and hospitals. But I bristle when people say things should be run like a business because a lot of times that only means take the axe to the core functions to
extract as much profit as possible to be hoovered up by admin bloat and paradigm shifting "initiatives".
