Ah, one more!


My wife’s expensive prestigious private school has been regularly calling her for donations for the 14 years we’ve been together and she refuses to give them a cent lol

According to Wikipedia they have an $813M endowment. gently caress em.

I think the only money I gave my school after graduation was to buy a cutout to put in the stands during the Plague Year 2020.

I sent a photo of my dog.

I worked briefly at OU's alumni outreach program (the folks nagging you for donations), God what a miserable job.

The last time I got a call myself was when this guy was the University President. He succeeded the second-longest-tenured and probably greatest President in OU history, but himself was a partisan political appointee by our chicken-fried Trump of a governor. I told the poor kid on the phone "I'm not giving another dime to OU so long as this guy is President, he can ask his billionaire buddies in the state legislature for more money." When I worked there there were ways to take notes on accounts, it took a lot for someone to be removed from the caller rolls but I guess maybe I made enough of an impression?

Anyway Gallogly lasted all of 9 months. Governor Stitt and Gallogly found out that you can't just use an institution with as many powerful and monied interests as OU does as a pawn in banal culture war games. Actual, meaningful donations quickly dried up so Gallogly showed himself the exit.
