“The same thing goes for institutions. You look at what an institution says it does, its mission, you look at what its purpose is, and its finding document and you look at what it actually does. Those should be consistent. And then you look at the institution you’re taking money from, and you ask the same question, what do they do? What do they say they do? And what are they obligated to do?” – Jonathan H. Marks
