"Dilbert" comic creator Scott Adams announced on Friday that he would be "ending [his] support of UC Berkeley" following a protest that turned violent Wednesday. UC Berkeley students and other people appeared on campus to protest a talk given by Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor for the right-wing website Breitbart.
Adams wrote he has "been a big supporter lately" by donating money and other help, but "that ends today." Adams added that he was disheartened to see the protests get destructive — regardless of who exactly was causing the damage — and feels that he better sides with Yiannopoulos and his supporters on the issue. ALSO
"I've decided to side with the Jewish gay immigrant [Yiannopoulos] who has an African-American boyfriend, not the hypnotized zombie-boys in black masks who were clubbing people who hold different points of view," he writes. "I feel that's reasonable, but I know many will disagree, and possibly try to club me to death if I walk on campus."

LOL love those loaded words!
He’s been giving them money?
The man has a way with words.
What is stunning is that more alumni are not doing this, enough to make UCB change their tactics. This may have a ripple effect and encourage others to also divest.
My guess is at least 80% of alumni just aren’t paying attention, and still feel the same way about the school as they did upon their own graduation. Wake up! This is not 1974 anymore. The school is deteriorating in quality and in reasoning skills.
The left believes man is evolving toward utopia. The ones who disagree either need to change their opinion to conform or need to be eliminated.
While it is true that Milo’s mother is Jewish, he presents himself as a practicing Catholic! At a minimum, they should refer to him as a Messianic Jew! ;-)
Class of 67, have yet to donate.
They sent me a request once, and I told them to make their programs more even handed and I never heard from them again.
KC
I just ignore their mailings and refuse to answer their phone calls.
Scott Adams earned an MBA in economics and management from the University of California, Berkeley in 1986.
If my school ever sent me a letter asking for donations, I send one back asking, “Didn’t I give you enough 40 years ago? What did you do with it all?..........
Adams is an alumnus of Berkeley, and he has donated to the school and worked very closely with Berkeley’s tech startup program.
I loved scott adams evolution towards trump in the last year and how much snow flake melt he scattered on the ground along the way... heh heh
If it were up to me, I’d carpet bomb UC Berserkley. Those people are an enemy of the state
Excellent
I wonder how much he gave?
As a source of funding, private gifts of all types make up 8% of UC Berkeley’s $2.35 billion revenue
Tuition, interestingly - makes up only 28%. The largest portion is State money - 14%, and other contracts and grants from government at all levels, for 28%.
60% of their costs are professor and worker salaries.
in sum - Its a state-run school. Even if a large amount of alumni stop donating, I imagine they probably don’t care too much.
and to think our ex DHS head now heads the UC system
Note to Berkeley rioters: if you’re breaking glass at night because a gay, Jew is speaking, you’re not protesting fascism. You are fascism.
Milo is Catholic according to Wiki, Grandmother was Jewish.
