I am still understanding this to be a merger with ODU as the parent entity and EVMS leadership on our board. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think of this new arrangement as a joint venture where where leadership of both schools have an equal stake in ownership.

Does EVMS now get a cut of all donations made to ODU like any other department? Does ODU skim off donations made directly to EVMS? Surely it would make sense to combine somehow for scale. I’m thinking getting a share of high earning MDs donating to their alma mater could bump ODU’s fundraising majorly.

Most meaningful fundraising can be directed, just like your ODAF can be given to one sport.
