Why I Don’t Give Alumni Donations
Well, first, I can’t really afford it - let’s get that out of the way. I wish I could, but right now I can’t.
Aside from that limitation, I don’t give to my University’s general fund because of irresponsible, inefficient spending. I don’t want to donate money to a University when those funds are spent on frivolous projects outside the central purposes of higher education - for example, voter registration.
I’d donate my time and professional expertise, though.
