Well, I know what I would do if I were an alumnus of Davidson College. It would be the same thing that I did many years ago when I stopped donating to the Columbia University Graduate School of Business from which I hold an MBA. Although I have been a donor to the Catholic college from which I received a BA 47 years ago, I keep a close watch on them. If they “step out of line”, further annual donations would cease. Alumni money talks. It is past time for many of these colleges and universities to get the message.
Smart move, and it wouldn’t be a bad one for alumni of Davidson at this juncture.
I stopped donating to Indiana University, my alma mater, when they elevated a Soviet Communist professor of mine to Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
Yes, Professor Hansen was in every way, an outright Soviet Communist. All done under the Myles Brand administration. You know, the guy who as President of the NCAA decided that the way to deal with rampant academic and financial fraud in collegiate sports was to ban the use of Native American nicknames. See, if you’re team is called the “Wildcats” you can pay basketball players who remain eligible even thought they couldn’t spell “cat” if you spotted them the “c” and the “a.” But if you are the “Chippewas” you need to be punished.
Until proved otherwise, I would opine that the alumni are in agreement with the closing Chic-Fil-A. The saying that the acorn [or apple]doesn’t fall far from the tree is accurate more times than not.
Yes it does, I've been preaching that Gospel for 7-8 years here and elsewhere. It's the only way to reach the educational elites.
I strongly recommend membership and donations to the American Council of Trustees and Alumni which specializes in targeting such donations.
Good for you!
Recently, William and Mary, up the road from me, took the cross out of the chapel to not “offend”. The outrage , especially from alums, was instantaneous with the with holding of money being most effective.
The idiot, lib president (ex-law school prof) was shut down and eventually moved on to another school.
It works...hope it works for this school.
