Another Report From The Buffalo News on $2 million donated to the school for an academic endowment and library addition, the donors allege St. Bonaventure University failed to provide a complete accounting of how it spent the money in a lawsuit filed in State Supreme Court.
“I just want to see why the project has gone over budget so dramatically,” Paul Bogoni said. “It could have been rebid and redesigned to stay within budget. Instead, the university changed the scope of the project far beyond what we originally intended without first discussing it with us.”

The university raised additional funds to cover the cost overruns, and the project is 75 percent complete.
