Wow. How again, are the Jews influencing education today? Nice dog whistle - ((( ))).

I can't say that I blame you for not wanting to contribute to Cal-Berkeley. Who would, if they hadn't done any better for them, than they did for you. But it seems that you enjoy telling people that it was your school-------still prestigious, despite your stated condemnation.

One member of my family, an Ultra High Net Worth Individual (UHNWI) and Berkeley alum (freshman year through his doctorate in a STEM discipline), removed the university from his will when they hired (decades ago) a particular professor who shall remain nameless on CD.....but he subsequently referred to her (among close family) as a left wing nutjob. Given his general passion for the university, friends and family thought he would change his mind. Nope.

I think there is at least some chance that Obama making fun of him at the White House Corespondents Dinner (in 2011, IIRC) was part of what motivated Trump to run for President.

Cry me a river. College campuses and public schools are like other government institutions. They spend 3 times as much money as they need too in inputs for the outputs they provide.

It depends.

If he already belongs to other university affiliated groups that charge high fees (for granting perks he receives), they might care.

They have people who 'handle' large gift notification, so if you plan such a gift, and then change your mind, someone will care.

Additionally, you are the one who mentioned 'getting those letters'....he didn't. You don't know what type or level of communication he has with the university, as he didn't reveal that in his post.

UC need to cut themselves down to size before someone else does it for them. I have no pity.

Completely true.. For the very same reason federal funding of ACA stopped...

PRESIDENTS CANT SPEND MONEY... They cant allocate it, they cant stop it.. they have ZERO control over it.
