the profits plowed back in are usually post-salary and BONUS both of which can be any number ($) the corp's board allows, the 'plow back' is not necessarily a big number after these and other staff expenses.....just saying there is not any implied morality or lack thereof in either scenario. I just think it a little 'cheesy' (no offense Wisc. fans) to ask for donations to equip the Moffitt Center when you are truly donating to the Villages Health system which will own the equipment NOT Moffitt, if they vacate they leave without the equipment....just say it the way it is. It smelled of deception, it actually should be seen as a benefit...the Villages will still have a cancer treatment center that could be marketed to another large group. Come on, enough of you out there saw this kind of maneuver out in the business world. I think there is one question on the center website that says the equipment will remain with the Villages because it will BELONG to the Villages Health....
