[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. Why would an alumn give money to his/her school if there is no way it will help your child even in some small way don’t the road?  Isn’t this going to kill alumni giving?. [/quote]

Plus how can the state mandate what private schools do?

[b]I only have to my Alma mater in hopes of my kids getting admitted.[/b]  Otherwise I’d rather donate to help local kids get thru hs and into college, not help an elite university with funding [/quote]

That’s… sad. My alma mater is MIT* and I give because it’s a great school doing great things. And I also donate to various scholarship funds.

* MIT has not factored in legacy for years[/quote]

This is just a gut feeling but I think giving would drop if they started giving legacy preferences.
If for no other reason than because it transforms the relationship with alumni from emotional to transactional.  
Many alumni would stop giving once their kids got into college.[/quote]
