I've gotten REAL tired of the university sending John Purdue Club donation envelopes my way...if/when I'm able to donate I'll help AT but NEVER the general fund.
I love the faculty there, and really enjoyed their experience.
I completely agree with you on Jishke, he was a lot of words I can't type in here! The only reason he was brought in was to bring in more money, that was it!!!!
I loved the flight program, but honestly I can't donate back to a university that can't support it's flight instructors with more than $7/hr pay.(well, what do I know, all we do is just go burn holes in the sky right?)
Anyways......I digress
