<p>I misinterpreted your comment since metonymy with regards to an institution is usually employed as an indirect attack on the institution without outright stating it. Rhetorical devices aside, my point still stands. There is little use in mentioning what other schools are doing. So what if one university is shelling out big bucks for investment funding? That still doesn’t change the fact that Berkeley can manage its funds better (note: this does not only refer to investment) and I think you will agree that it doesn’t have to take $40 million to achieve.</p>
