The Center Square) - Erich Eischen is unique.
According to Federal Election Commission data, he is the only person who lists his employer as a college or university in the United States who made a contribution of $1,000 or more to Donald Trump's presidential campaign so far in the 2024 election cycle.
Such donors are a dime a dozen for President Joe Biden. There are 289, in fact, according to the FEC. Biden has more higher ed support at the University of California alone, than Trump has in the whole country. And Biden's support comes from schools that will tell you they are the most prestigious -- Cornell, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Yale, Penn, NYU, Georgetown and on and on.
Where does Trump's single big dollar contribution come from? A Dakota State University tax and accounting instructor. According to the school's website, he teaches introductory tax and accounting classes as well as more advanced courses. He has taught in the United Arab Emirates, China and Morocco and studied at the University of Denver. He did not respond to email and phone requests for comment.

In recent elections, colleges and universities have become more and more lucrative sources of donations primarily for Democrats. The University of California system was Joe Biden's 10th largest donor in 2020 with nearly $20 million dollars in donations to all candidates, according to Open Secrets. Over 97% of its donations went to Democrats.

My guess is he was not a DEI hire.
The typical way to deal with people like him is for a few coeds to launch some ‘complaints’.
Why would anyone send their kid to a university today?
Yep. He made me blank or else he would fail me…
I was scared…
So they can get a job?
RE: only Trump supporter merited an article about him....
Wow. Professor for Trump.
They haven’t had the comic section Ripley’s Believe It Or Not for a long time. Printed newspapers are mostly extinct.
Apparently they have books off and on.
Look at this 2010 story:
“Man Shot in Head Finds out 5 Years Later: A man living in Germany walked around and functioned normally for five years without noticing he had been shot in the head. The .22 caliber bullet was found when the man went to the doctor to have what he thought was a cyst removed. All he could remember was that it probably happened in 2005 at a New Year’s Eve Party and that he was “very drunk.”

You send your kid off to a school that is going to require
that they listen to the most twisted thoughts known to
mankind.
When they return, the chances of you ever being ever to
communicate with them in a sane manner again is lost to you.
This starts them out to be one of two heads of their future
household, raising children that haven’t a single connection
to the reality we know to be true.
Look, I get your point. It’s a tough decision. I’m glad
I don’t have to face it any longer.
Lives in Madison
My brother went to school at Dakota state
Mostly-retired social science professor here. I openly supported Trump and made (less than 1k) donations to Trump. Can’t say my colleagues appreciated that!
That’s right.
I sure hope not.
Because they’re naive and ignorant.
We’ve pretty much had it beaten into our heads over the
decades to make sure our kids get a college education.
I can see how folks have a hurdle to overcome to not do that.
I’m sure there are others who donate without listing their employer out of fear of retaliation.
