Two or three times a year they call my home and a$k for donations. (I am, shameful to admit, an alumnus).
I wonder what I can say when they call again?
How about: "Put me on your do not call list"?
I am as likely to give money to Planned Parenthood or Hillary Clinton as I am Duke University.
Use it as an opportunity to let them know that you will NOT be giving again until, they clean up their act.
Chat them up - even though it's just a phone-center collection guy, they will pass the message upstairs.
I don't believe you. If you really are a Duke alum you might disagree with the actions of some associated with it but you would not say that you were ashamed to be an alum. If you went to Duke and had a bad experience, you had every opportunity to leave. Are you trolling here or are you so wishy washy as to let others define your experiences for you?
