I'm just saying ... what do you expect if you're a person or organization with any values? Why accept the money? You wouldn't take 'free' money from a psychotic heroin dealer and expect to continue to control your future, yet arguably that's a safer bet than accepting it from the government.
It was probably for student loans, or some aid that’s tertiary to the funding of the school.
