Apparently, there are three position openings in the
Office of Development and (Lack of) Alumni Relations.

If one has significant experience resting money from people, this could be you.

In each job description, the emphasis is on getting money from Alumni and other unsuspecting targets.

In each job listing there is not a mention of establishing or conducting Alumni Informational Events, Alumni Chapters nor improving deteriorating
Alumni Relations.

Surveying the targets of these activities, Alumni and others, as to their interests, and opinions of how they wish to be "treated" would go a long way in
avoiding the negative backlash currently underway.

Being "socially engaged" as opposed to a "confrontational / telephone solicitation" tactic, would probably be more beneficial, and cause less alienation
in the long run.

I saw four available, and you are 100% correct. This might be your most cogent post yet.
