Money is not God.
Based on comments from around the school, this wording of ‘minutes’ after the vote for the school maintenance crew to show up and remove the pretentious guy’s name was absolutely true. There might be more to the whole story, but he rubbed the trustees in the wrong way.
Wealthy decadent lowlifes try to validate their miserable existence by donating money to places that are willing to patronize them. Imagine the absurdity of naming a law school after this character.
But it might help to keep the faith if yer sitting on a multi-billion dollar endowment.
Just sayin’.
The university should have waited until the end of the year to return the money. It would have messed up this guys charitable donations and associated tax consequences without the ability to timely rebalance before year end.
My new home/state certainly has balls.
This country was built by hicks and deplorable who worked with their hands and many gave their lives for others. How can you honestly make millions of dollars on real estate?
After I was admitted to Harvard Law School, I attended orientation. Our 500-strong class was gathered in Memorial Hall, in historic Sanders Theater, where then-Dean Elena Kagan (now Supreme Court Justice) spoke to us. She informed us that the competition was over we were in! No need to worry about the stuff wed seen in The Paper Chase we were all going to leave with degrees and jobs. Not just that as graduates of Harvard Law, we were destined to rule the universe. She informed us of how many alumni were in the Senate, how many in Congress, how many on the Supreme Court. The battle was over upon our acceptance to the institution.After reading about Ben Shapiros interesting experience in Harvard Law (and the little exposé into the particularly vile character of Justice Kagan), the University of Alabamas law school in my estimation has greatly improved in reputation particularly after this move.
Trump did it. Doubt that Culverhouse did, though; his character in this respect bears that out.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!
An institution with GUTS to do the right thing!!!!!!!!!
KUDOooooooooooooooo’s!!!!!
Ask Trump. Buy low. Sell high?
The University of Alabama’s School of Business is named after Hugh Culverhouse, Sr. Yes, that is his dad.
This nitwit didn’t even attend Alabama. He is a graduate of the University of Florida.
#RollTide #SweetHomeAlabama.
#wealthprivilege to condemn an entire state.
I don’t expect Florida even under DeSantis to vomit him out, although that would be fitting.
Sweet Home Alabama!!!
Our future Home Sweet Home...
Good, it’s great (except nobody uses directionals here).
Can I ask why you want to move from Florida?
Roll Tide!
The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
Just Sayin’.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23-24
