But it’s a good strategy for decreasing imports of Canadian crude oil, which the US definitely does not need.

I have mixed feelings about this kind of noblesse oblige.

The minute the US starts banning the export of finished fuel products to Canada is the exact same minute we should be turning off the taps and putting an export ban on Canadian crude oil to the US.
Might actually be true... but thats still da$#ing

And I’m sure it comes with a lot of conditions.
Better to have higher, sustained taxes to provide public goods without private conditions.
It’s a public good. Not a Phil Knight vanity play.

The bigger, unspoken issue is velocity imo. That billion has basically sat doing little to nothing for years. The arguement that the VC class has made for about landlocked investment dollars driving wealth creation has turned out to be at best misguided and at worst a strategic lie.
So instead of that money circulating the broader economy and providing utility for thousands of people, it has sat and waited to be dropped on a public university that shouldn't need it in an equitable system.
