Major donors to Brandeis University have informed the school they will no longer give it money in retaliation for its decision last month to host former President Jimmy Carter, a strong critic of Israel.
The donors have notified the school in writing of their decisions ? and specified Carter as the reason, said Stuart Eizenstat, a former aide to Carter during his presidency and a current trustee of Brandeis, one of the nation?s premier Jewish institutions of higher learning.
They are ?more than a handful,? he said. ?So, this is a concern. There are evidently a fair number of donors who have indicated they will withhold contributions.?
Brandeis history professor Jonathan Sarna, who maintains close ties with the administration, told The Jewish Week, ?These were not people who send $5 to the university. These were major donors, and major potential donors.

What is this? The Jeopardy thread? Why all the question marks?????????? ;o)
Good. Talk with your checkbooks. It's the only thing the dang liberal acedemia understands. Principles? Bah humbug they say.
Good for them. Hitting lefty organizations in the pocket works. My alma mater suffered a similar hit when the students booked Michael Moore. When the U called me up for the annual donation, I explained how I wouldn't be giving them a dime that year because of the Moore event. I explained that the U was free to provide a forum to anyone they liked, and I was free to not subsidize their actions. I wasn't the only one to withold donations--the U reported that that stunt cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars.
What an arrogant, condescending comment.
Bingo. A little lesson that fool Carter has never learned: there are consequences to being an anti-Semitic moonbat leftist anti-American looney, and not all consequences are nice, like a Nobel Peace Prize, which he received for making anti-American, anti-Bush speeches on foreign soil. He's our very WORST president ever. And I include the Clintoon in that list.
After his dis-service to the Nation, Bubba Clintoon was invited to speak to a gathering of officers and major shareholders of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, with a serious remuneration of course. (circa 1992)
