Here’s the thing....”Dad” comes up and agrees to send Mandy (his daughter) off to a high-status private college like Duke. Yearly costs for the school, books, room and board, fees? Roughly $55,000. Figure another $12,000 for clothing, pocket money, and credit card usage. When Dad wakes up and reads the headline...’Radical change at Duke’ and looks at the $67,000 he pays out a year...he’s a bit furious and he says something about this. Same way for old-timer Duke graduates who funnel $100,000 here and a million there as contributions. The gimmick use of the three million for the Islamic department might have cost them $20 million a year in donations.
Let's hope.
