Pop quiz: Penn State's newest fundraising scheme is called "The Campaign for Penn State Students."

It's already raised a hefty $364.2 million. Where do you think that money is going?

• a) all to the students
• b) mostly to the students
• c) mostly to faculty support, facilities and programs to stimulate research and creativity

If, prompted by the campaign's title, you opted for answers a or b, that's unfortunately incorrect. Actually, of the funds raised so far, only about a third -- $124 million -- has been allocated to "student priorities" like scholarships, graduate fellowships, leadership and service opportunities, honors education, career counseling and study abroad programs.

Campaign officials don't seem to see an issue with this allocation.

"Students need faculty. Students need research to do," Peter Tombros, the campaign chairman, said. "It's all for the students, as far as we're concerned."

It's nice that Tombros takes such a wide view of "the student experience." But we doubt most students would agree with his assessment.

With Penn State tuition among the highest in the Big Ten, the average student would probably appreciate an extra scholarship quite a bit more than extra "faculty support."

Besides, if campaign officials can roll faculty support, facilities and research programs into the campaign's scope, what can't they roll in?

For instance, students need bathrooms. Are they going to fund janitors' salaries with this money?

Penn State has the right to fundraise for whatever it wants. But it specifically chose to designate this campaign as benefiting students.

That means students and the donors that Penn State is soliciting are expecting that money to go to programs that benefit students directly.

If campaign officials want to put that money somewhere else, they better think of a new title.
