Campaigners fear growing donor influence on US campuses

Watching the traffic when donation to Alma Mater is being discussed an awful lot of middle 30's upwards graduates don't want to know, often due to their own living expenses, though more and more often in reaction to the ideologically driven agendas. The phrase 'get woke, go broke' seems to be appropriate, as so many US universities and colleges seem to have dropped meritocratic standards in favour of 'equity' and enforced diversity, with the loss of 'academic freedom' and 1st amendment rights to free speech being attacked by the ideologues being regularly quoted as a reason not to support the perceived growing left wing indoctrination power base within.
