if a foundation employee is calling you, other than to set up logistics of what was agreed to with the chancellor/president/regent, you're not.
I want other people to give to make A&M good at football, but I honestly cant think of a bigger waste of money than giving money to a state funded institution. They get tax money, grants, still charge ever increasing tuition (often for degrees that they know have no value) to build buildings so they can hire employees to fill the buildings. All so they can appear higher on a list of research/academic expenditure which will allow them to draw down more funding. Whole system needs to be stripped down to the studs.
