As of today, ND has lost $20 mi...Memo to the Boss:<br /><br />As of today, ND has lost $20 mil in alum pledges. Overall giving including one timers, alum and matching is approx $87 mil. Endowments make up the rest of the $700 mil it costs to run the joint. Endowments however, seem impervious to moral issues. (Is impervious correct? We just da researchers, you b the writer)<br /><br />The Board of Trustees seems to be the quiet issue. Trustee Board made up of some real characters. Certainly not voices for Christ, but seems to be helpers to mammon. The link to the endowments runs directly flowing from the Board of Trustee river and so it goes...<br /><br />ND seem to have made a decision a few decades a ago that being orthodox wasn't exactly hip or profitable. Your point boss about the tide turning however, is spot on. It actually began, (as you know from our illustrious research) in the School of Architecture and has grown from there. Interesting place to start, ya think?<br /><br />Maybe this circus at ND will turn out to be the thing the orthodox 20% of the student body needed to keep on keepin' on.<br /><br />As usual, we are grateful to have such a fearless leader and everytime we get cred on MWBH we have a toast in your honor!!<br /><br />Love ya Boss,<br /><br />Research Kids at MWBHResearch Dept MWBHnoreply@blogger.com
