Just remember alot of times #'s dont always tell the full story. Every business is showing positive comparables from the covid 20 or 21 years, unless you sold masks or sanitizers. I'll still trust the feelings on this board and what i see with my own 2 eyes on the engagement of donors at events than what spin on the #'s might be trying to sell.

That is 100% false.

Hammer , again I agree with your sentiments 110%. Something is mighty fishy. They also don’t count the number of disgruntled donors they have sent packing. Also I personally know 1/2 dozen people that have pulled significant 6 figure pledges or moved them to other areas of the University.

The University has been allowing endowments committed to Athletics to be transferred to School of Fashion Design , Nursing, Business etc. We know folks that have done this and are seriously considering doing the same.

AD can preach his sermons but some are not buying. Many alienated by previous AD are still on the sidelines or have moved on.
