Well, yes.

On the other hand, how could a university get the wealthy to depart with their dollars, voluntarily, if they didn't promise some small thing in return? You give us 5 million, we'll admit your grandson.

Seems to me, the public benefits GREATLY from that equation.

Otherwise, Grandpa is going to hold on to his money and the public university will have some shabby old building that needs updating. Sorry, there's not the funding for that.

It's been a little over 28 months since the 2016 election, not 52 months.

The liberal hypocrisy is astounding. Celebrities talk out of both sides of their mouths. Classic example is the young actress screaming "Don't objectify me!" while posing semi-clothed for her instagram.
LOL.

Democrats are not known for being good at math.

And I promise you mommy and daddy paid extra to make sure their kids were graded with extreme leniency .
1. There is only one Ivy League. It is comprised of 8 schools...1 in MA (Harvard), 1 in RI (Brown), 1 in CT (Yale), 1 in PA (University of Pennsylvania), 1 in NH (Dartmouth), 1 in NJ (Princeton), and 2 in NY (Cornell, and Columbia).

2. Obama only has two daughters (unless you know of other daughters that the rest of us don't )....Malia is at Harvard, and Sasha isn't in college yet. Sasha is a Senior at Sidwell Friends (where Malia prepped, Chelsea Clinton prepped, etc.)

It puts into question every celebrity kid going to an elite school. I wonder if the FBI will expand their search.

Of course it only matters when it's none white people who make it in.
