No, because 15 years after graduation I'm still paying a monthly student loan bill. frick a voluntary donation. I did show up in November, bought an overpriced hoodie, and ate chili at the tailgate for $10. I did not bother going to the football game, which they lost 14-45.

Back in the day, a few of us disgruntled graduates of LSU Law School would send them checks in the amount of $0.02. Postage was free since we were young hires who spent plenty of time around the law firm's mail room. So, it only cost us 2 cents to make a statement about the worth of our esteemed education.

Not only did the school have to process any payment instrument received, the fact that we donated kept them spending at least $5 annually in postage to send us all the future donation requests.

Your donation will help Hector, who has an incarcerated parent, study for a degree in Folklore.

High Never went to college so nothing there. My high school, not really. The entire athletic program is paid for by Tom Brady, Barry Bonds, Lynn Swann, and David Bakhtiari,

Schools are printing money due to the cost of tuition increasing exponentially over the years

I think what I paid should suffice

I used to give a little bit but then a few years back they spent something like $80,000 to dig up and move a large rock from campus. Reason was that 100 years ago some journalist referred to it as the n-word in a story so it was a racist rock and had to go. True story.

So it’s clear to me that they don’t need my money if they have it to spend on absurd things like that.

Same

Mine took down the Confederate plaques, and destroyed the monument to Lewis and Clark.

If the place burned down tomorrow, I’d cheer.

No. Not since my university started signing off their letters with preferred pronouns and they built a $20 million annual DEI department.
