\_ advice to UCB fundraiser committee: Ask not how you can
get more donations. Ask why you are not getting donations.
\_ why the fuck should i donate to a place that told me my undergrad
ass wasn't really who they were trying to teach?
\_ look buddy, everyone felt the same way at Cal. This is
why it's been going down for the past 2 decades. It's
a sad legacy of the damn place getting damn too big.
\_ well then I have this to say unto Cal:
"You reap what you sow. You have heard of this phrase?"
Probably not, the bible is banned @Cal. _/ |

Four California universities ranked in the top 20 nationally. The 12% decline was the steepest percentage drop since the survey began 40 years ago, said survey director Ann E Kaplan. That and decreases in the value of endowments and income made fiscal 2009 a tough time for most campuses, she said. "It had an impact," she said, referring to the budget cutbacks that many colleges faced last year. Martin Shell, Stanford's vice president for development, said the school was gratified to remain No. "The fact that our donors responded with this level of support is a real testament to the generosity of our alumni, parents and friends," he said. Some of the income counted in the survey included payments on pledges made in prior years, Shell said. The university also managed to collect what he described as a significant portion of $100 million pledged last January by several donors to establish a research institute focusing on energy issues. The largest gift for that institute was $50 million from energy executive and Stanford alumnus Jay Precourt, for whom it was named.

UCSF and Berkeley, each an independent campus, nevertheless complement each other in academic disciplines as intended by the founders of the UC System. When one adds up the contributions received by the two institutions, it is pretty impressive. Add Stanford to this SF Bay Area situated academic institutions, one can appreciate why Bay Area remains such an important source of America's best minds. The Harvard Endowment Fund, for example, lost more money speculating in oil in 1998 than their entire 4 year tuition for the Class of 2012. This is not to mention the tax that these activites impose on the economy by driving up living costs at the gas pump and supermarket. They are all at it once again hoping that this time they get it right. facebook * Real Time Economics offers exclusive news, analysis and commentary on the economy, Federal Reserve policy and economics.
