[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My[b] DH quit giving a few years ago.  He used to give annually, but the far left control of academia got to be too much for him as a moderate.

He mentioned yesterday that Annual Giving is way down and laughed.  FAFO.[/quote]

It's this!
I went to Occidental College - It went liberal after I left, after decades of strong leadership,  Oxy had a weak black president, the faculty gained control over the President and the board, which resulted in some catastrophic financial deicsions, then came a series of poor presidents who couldn't control the lefty faculty, and now the institution is super woke - I haven't givena penny in two decades NOR have my alumni friends (of all political stripes)  from those years.  Everyone is disgusted at what has happened to our once-upon-a-time "Princeton of the West", which is what Oxy called itself.  
My DW went to [b]Carleton College - crazy woke - she doesn't give[/b]
My DS went to George Mason, which was hugely DEI while he was there; he lost substantial scholarship opportunities because of it, and now GMU is doing stupid things with SJP. My son doesn't give and never will.
My DD went to UVA and doesn't give because Andrus G. Ashoo, the director of the Office of Citizen Scholar Development, didn't think she had what it takes to be supported by his office for a major scholarship (uh, like not URM, first generation, etc.).  So she did it on her own - went to Oxford for an MPhil; then Oxford offered her a full Scholarship for the DPhil, and she has been accepted by Harvard Law.  I doubt she will ever give money to UVA because of how Ashoo treated her.

My message to college presidents is: actions have consequences.  Your institutional leadership has failed all of us, your students, your alumni.[/quote]

Alumni giving rate at Carleton is actually one of the highest.[/quote]
