Hugh Culverhouse Jr and Hugh Culverhouse Sr are most certainly related.

Actually, it does. The hypocrisy of abortion is a joke.

Give him his money back and tear his name off the wall. This guy is beyond shady. He thinks that his donation gives him the final say in day to day operations. For instance, he’s pressured the school to give some of his lawyer buddies faculty positions, tried to influence larger strategic decisions, wanted a say in what the curriculum consists of, shite like that. Yeah, handing back $20 Million will hurt in the short term, but in the grand scheme of things for a major public university, it’s just a drop in the bucket.

Dude, if you don't know a woman you would never think had an abortion you're just not in an inner circle.


I've known two: a woman who didn't want to quit drinking, and a woman whose dad thought she was too young and felt scandalized.

Yep. It’s been an ongoing dispute. The school has tried to give him as much “VIP” treatment as possible, but obviously refuses to give him any sort of operational control. The abortion thing is just him trying to save face now that the advisory board has recommended giving his money back and stripping his name from the school.
