I've witnessed a whole lot of universities accepting huge donations and also seen their missions changed by the donors.

How about a general fund to help all schools instead of endowing ones that are already doing pretty well, thank you? Across the river Vermont is seeing 3 of its 18 colleges being shuttered this year because of funding.

I'm not sure we need more MBAs or even advanced STEM degrees. I do think we need better resources at the preschool and throughout high-school levels as well as trade schools and OJT support.
