Long past time for most institutions. I quit donating to Bowdoin in 1971 after the college colluded with BS artists shutting the school down to protest the war. Graduated in 1968, but it only took me a couple years to wise up. PC was already aborning.

My daughter went to Hillsdale at my support and encouragement, and received a fantastic education. I donate to them now, and will continue to do so. BTW Hillsdale just broke ground for a magnificent new "Christ Chapel" on college grounds. They are the real deal.

far-left professors now dominate disciplines like English literature, sociology, and history Ha. They dominate every department.

Agreed on the Colleges, also, every democrat and RINO should be voted out of office and never to be returned.
Wake up America.

My alma mater was cut-off after some absurd anti-military articles in our alumni magazine.

I agree, also support Hillsdale for many years and still do. When I was running my Consulting Co. I had a recruiting division. Order from headquarters: resumes tot eh round file, any Lawyer, any one from the Ivy league, No body can wreck a company faster that a Harvard grad.

I give money to the ROTC department, hopefully they are using it to the benefit of the those students.

Couldn’t have put it better. I give regularly to my favorite charity — my bank account.
To: Mr. Mojo
If I were to go to a college (a big maybe), I would never donate. The money that could be donated would be put to better use buying myself a guitar.

I stopped after September 11 since they were going to pay that Fahrenheit 911 idiot Michael Moore $35,000 on campus. I think there was such an uproar they cancelled it yet their poor judgment showed me they don't deserve my two mites.

I gave a bit to to my college until a few year ago, when they had a “womyn”/femanist month. Yes, that is how they spelled it. every campus event that moth was all feminism.
They sent me a fundraising letter and email that month. I respond to them with concerns about that using the spelling “women.” They were quick to respond with teh PC spelling. They will never receive another dime.

The last time someone from my leftist undergrad university called asking for money, I explained to the caller how much liberalism I had had to unlearn since graduation. That devolved into an argument about Karl Marx's "Capital."
They haven't called since.

Im nearing the end of my run here on earth, so the wife and I have been doing final checks on the validity of our modestly sizeable family trust bequeaths.
Spent my freshman year at Stetson; we stopped by there a few weeks ago. Had an impromptu extended chat with a young, brilliant (non-tenured) political science professor. He is well-versed in the ways of the left, but casually dismisses the big government concerns of conservatives. He was quite happy that the heavy hand of the Southern Baptist Convention no longer interferes with the colleges enlightened academic elite and SJWs.
Drove north for a family reunion, then over to Hillsdale College in Michigan. (They’re the ones who publish “Imprimis”.) WOW, were we impressed! (Let’s just say that when we left them with a check, jaws dropped.)
We’ve already dumped the University of Miami (my undergrad degree) and SUNY (my wifes undergrad degree). Since a business school professor at Stetson kick-started my career path by getting me a summer job, cutting them off really hurts, but damned if I’m going to pay for SJW training.
After our visit to Hillsdale, we’re seriously considering saying bye-by to Embry-Riddle (grad school for both of us) and leaving it all to Hillsdale.
As for now, after supporting FR, consider sending Prager University a donation. It’s a great bang for the buck - some of the views for their videos total in the millions!
