They get regularly audited which is why the scandal was caught, they still can’t misuse tuition funds either. Travel and food expenses mimics gsa travel expenses but then they also have multiple dining halls and catering. Why are you trying so hard to make mountains out of mole hills it’s like you are begging for everything to be a giant conspiracy

Dining halls isn’t “food expense”. Student dining halls are paid for by meal plans.
Catering private parties with private chefs is a big part of management in acedemia. That’s part of the reason why they can’t afford to give raises. The deans want their galas.
Why are you ignoring that the income vs salary doesn’t add up? Private chefs isn’t something regular low level executives get outside of acedemia.
It’s not a giant conspiracy when it’s documented.

They are paid for by meal plans that count as income and are paid out as an expense… that’s how a budget works
After you mentioned the private chefs I tried searching for private chefs at Stanford and there was no prior job histories for it or current job openings for it. They have an executive chef but that is a dining hall position.
They aren’t hosting constant galas and most schools have contracts with companies like Sysco that require all catering events on campus to be supplied by Sysco so it’s not like it’s super high quality food either
