[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's reassuring that people here don't just take things at face value and can think of reasons why the story OP is trying to tell might not be the only story.

What's your angle, OP? That Princeton is in some sort of trouble? They're doing just fine. [/quote]

Totally. Seems OP has an agenda...why just pick out Princeton. Crazy stuff.[/quote]

Princeton as a university has one of the highest alumni giving rates in the country. So it is true that the share of alums giving has dropped but it is still higher than most other universities and many Princeton alums really love their Alma Mater.

I am a Princeton alum and I also think increased income inequality may have led to lower giving rates. If billionaires like Michael Bloomberg and Ron Perelman can give $50 million plus to Princeton and not miss it, I would rather give my donations to less prominent organizations like food pantries and homeless shelters where my money can mean the difference between having enough food for dinner or not.
