The highest paid college president in the United States, Shirley Ann Jackson, just got a rejection note from the zoning board. The city’s engineers said the university’s plans to build a 41-44 foot high, 9000 square foot mansion didn’t come with a good enough reason to vary from the past rules. The average humans in the same neighborhood get by with homes that are no more than 25 feet high. RPInsider zooms right in on a nice quote that comes to us courtesy of the Times Union’s Larry Rulison
“I wonder how RPI, which is known for its engineers, why someone couldn’t present a proposal that fits inside the city limits” said the zoning board chairman, Jay Vandenburgh.
