CologneMike – the taxpayers/UL Foundation didn’t pay for the UL Boathouse – it is currently being paid each year by the students as part of capitation.

ULSU borrowed the money up front to spend on the boathouse and are going to buying that back from funds raised from the students via capitation. I’ve nothing personal against Limerick Boat club, but one does have to wonder what is served by building this in order to preserve a club on that site that couldn’t make a go of it on that site. What certainty is there that that club might not be wound up at some point after the building is finished and some other use made of the structure? None.
