I grant that waste of that sort should be stopped, but the greater 'sin' would appear to be his compesnation, not his expense account. The argument will surely be that he is executive officer of an institution with X employees managing Y megabucks per year and that a million dollars a year is appropriate under those circumstances given corresponding salaries in industry.
