Catholic University Spends $60 Million on ‘Environmental Sustainability’

Loyola University of Chicago is in the middle of a half-billion dollar construction binge, according to Crain’s.

A recent splurge on new construction includes a $58.8 million “Institute of Environmental Sustainability.” The building will feature a special system that will use rainwater to flush toilets.

With a $60 million total price tag, which includes an array of environmental super toilets, Loyola’s administrators are bringing new meaning to the term, “human waste.” But probably the most notable flushing going on here is the flushing of money down the giant toilet of debt-ridden expansionism.

The university has borrowed almost $400 million for building projects since 2008.
