I usually donate to Smeal College of Business and the Blue Band -- but not this year.<br /><br />Also, I dropped two season tickets that I normally would have purchased and sent a message that I was cancelling those tickets because of the decisions by the BOT.<br /><br />The NLC said they would forward my message regarding cancellation to AD Dave (Judas) Joyner.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-23986565875325411442013-04-04T10:24:27.928-04:002013-04-04T10:24:27.928-04:00Until the BOT debacle in 2011, my wife and I were ...Until the BOT debacle in 2011, my wife and I were members of the "Golden Lion Society" society by virtue of our "Life Time" membership in the Alumni Association and making a donation to Penn State every year since our graduation about 25 years ago. This was separate from our yearly Nittany Lion Club contributions, consistent pledges to THON, and occasional donations groups like the Blue Band. In 2012, I was greatly conflicted about donating to the university wondering how to support the PSU and not “enable” the BOT. I was greatly relieved when we received a request from Penn State with Sue Paterno's signature regarding the library. Other than THON, we decided to shift our contributions solely to the Library. In the latest ranking, Pattee is among the best in the country. The h*ll with the NCAA and the rest of ill-informed haters, maybe we can honor Paterno and Penn State making them #1 again in an area that commemorates the "Grand Experiment"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065974894515851609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-46589532325115404722013-04-04T09:14:18.927-04:002013-04-04T09:14:18.927-04:00I am a lifetime member of the alumni association a...I am a lifetime member of the alumni association and therefore have voted in every election since I graduated in 1980. I have also been a donating member since that time as well. I am a member of the NLC and also contribute to THON, but 2011 was the first year I ceased giving any money directly to the university through my alumni group campaign. Mostly I use the excuse that I have two kids there now, but it's more because of the BOT and their abuse of responsibilities. veranda-estatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571588207324827113noreply@blogger.com
