After Morin retired in 2014 he lived in an assisted-living home for 15 months. His entire estate of $4 million was left to UNH. Most of it was in unrestricted funds, that is, not mandating the University use it to any specific end; Morin dedicated $100,000 for the library and library science scholarships. UNH earmarked $2.5 million to expand its career center, while $1 million was budgeted for a video scoreboard at the
campus stadium. Use of the bequest for a video scoreboard drew broad criticism, with one alumna stating "the school’s administrative decision to spend a quarter of Morin’s generous donation on a inconsequential trinket for the athletic department is a complete disgrace to the spirit and memory of Robert Morin." Others drew attention to the absurdity of spending $1 million on a scoreboard when "adjuncts in the English department there... receive $3,000 per class." Administrators defended the decision by saying that the gift was used "for [UNH's] highest priorities and emerging opportunities," ==See also==
