[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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?

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

California underwrites need based scholarships for instate students - they can pull that funding. [/quote]

Pell grant funding? Please explain. If so, it’s less than it’s ever been. USC has a robust endowment. [/quote]
If USC has such a robust endowment then legacy donations really shouldn't matter.

Plus, it's a bad look for USC and Stanford, in a very liberal state.

I guess conservatives care about elitism and hoarding opportunities.[/quote]
I think it's good for USC's reputation. They have spent several decades now trying to boost their academic reputation for undergraduates. They have mostly succeeded. People are less likely to think of it as the university of spoiled children. It has come a long way. This will help strengthen their reputation in the long run. [/quote]

Totally agree--this gives USC the perfect excuse to increase emphasis on stats and raise themselves in the rankings in the process. They still have one of the strongest alumni networks in the country so I don't think they will be lacking in terms of donations.[/quote]
