Trinity Loses Donations, Students After Facebook Posts
Hartford Courant ^ | August 1, 2017 | Russell Blair

Posted on 08/01/2017 3:46:46 PM PDT by BillyBonebrake

Donors have pulled back and incoming students have decided to go elsewhere in response to the firestorm that erupted from a professor’s racially-charged Facebook posts, Trinity College’s president said Monday.

Joanne Berger-Sweeney said 16 incoming students have withdrawn and past donors have chosen not to contribute to the school this year, resulting in about a $200,000 loss in donations. Both groups specifically cited the national uproar surrounding Professor Johnny Eric Williams’ posts, she said.

Thanks - “whom” felt correct but ya know....I thought I should ask.

Of course, I often like to put punctuation after quoting. Oh the horror, LOL.

[If it’s a he, use who, if it’s a him, use whom. Same idea with she/her.]

In dialog, Brits put relative punctuation outside the quotes.
Americans put the punctuation within the quotes. Either is accepted, just stay consistent.

In a quote contained within another sentence, the punctuation goes with the sentence as a whole. If there are punctuation marks relative to the quoted portion, they go within the interior quotes, since there is another sentence that takes precedence and has its own punctuation.

Interestingly enough Malcolm Little was killed by his own people in 1965; George Rockwell was killed by his own people in 1967. Rockwell and Little should have worked together for a common goal.

Thanks. Let’s experiment:

“Smart people have said: ‘Obama is a Manchurian Candidate Thug!’”.

LOL - that may need correction!

The way you get a somnolent administrator’s attention is to use the word “money”. In this case, I suspect a lot more than just $200k has dried up. If the losses continue to mount, then that professor will be nudged out the door.

Not surprised. Hartford is the most dangerous city in New England.

Actually, it’s the OBJECT of a preposition. Therefore, objective case. “Whom.”

Correct. I was trying to give an intuitive explanation. “Subject of the preposition” was a brain fart.

To paraphrase the Trinity professor:
Let the Republicans elitist academic institutions f____ing die.

Mizzou has lost 35% of its enrollment, according to the Daily Caller, and has had to close three dormitories for lack of enrollees to fill them. I call that a good start.

Tucker Carlson’s school. Wonder if he was one of the donors who closed their checkbook this year?

Also Jesse Watters of FNC. I'll bet both of them stopped donating to Trinity years ago.

Yes, Trinity College has a *beautiful* campus in Hartford, here in The People’s Republik of Connecticut. Like Yale University (in New Haven), it’s an island in the middle of an extremely dangerous high-crime neighborhood.

Should have been more backlash.

I toured Trinity when I was looking at colleges, some 35 years ago. My father and I also toured the surrounding neighborhood. I didn’t bother applying. The school is nearly surrounded by a no-go zone.

That no-go zone is far more dangerous now than it was 35 years ago, from what I hear. Same for Yale in New Haven.

I say it's a 3-way tie: Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport.

Such an honor for Connecticut, huh??

I wonder if Calypso Louie and his buddies did it?
