This is just a further reply. The University does not have the endowment, it is this program that is endowed, which I think is administered by the school district. I think they got most of this money from businesses in the Syracuse area.
The program is well within the long tradition of providing public and private money for higher education. Our land grant public universities go back to the Lincoln administration -- well over 150 years. States have always provided large appropriations to run their university systems. This is just another program in that tradition.
