[b]You really are relentless, and wrong.[/quote][/b]

Interesting.  I was just about to say the same and I'm a DP and an alum, but believe what you want to believe.[/quote]

W[b]ell, the two kids I know there are getting great educations and are happy.[/quote][/b]

Do they know about Moody's downgrading the campus financial picture to a negative last December?  The endowment is too small to make it through Covid.[/quote]

Not the immediate PP.  You’re a disgruntled alum, yet the S[b]pring giving campaign was a success.[/b]  The enrollment numbers have been growing year to year—it’s growing in popularity and sought after.  Even under current circumstances my DC knows an incoming freshman willing to travel cross country.  You do realize fundraising appeals are not inside information, right?  We all get them from our schools, they all mention current events.[/quote]

But necessary only because of COVID and after many pleas to many alums who refuse to give to the college because it has mismanaged its affairs for decades.  Moody's downgraded it last December.  Compare Oxy's endowment to its old competition Pomona.  And compare Oxy's selectivity to Pomona's.  There's no comparison anymore and they once were competitors.  https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-revises-Occidental-Colleges-CA-outlook-to-negative-assigns-Aa3--PR_906060735[/quote]
