Why give $20 million to Juilliard?

Why give  million to Juilliard?

A pair of public-minded investors, John and Jody Arnhold, have given $15m to support Juilliard’s Creative Enterprise program and $5m more for jazz.

Their hope is that it will ‘bring further vibrancy to a school that has all of the tools to create the next generation of arts performers, arts educators, arts leaders.’

Er, is that Juilliard?

The Manhattan School is a byword for sky-high fees, innate bias, dubious teachers and indifferent student care. There must surely be a better investment somewhere for $20 million.
