Accusations fly in Flick gift fiasco

Oxford University fundraising could suffer following 바카라사이트 public debacle over 바카라사이트 controversial Flick professorship.

University spokesmen say that 바카라사이트 sudden decision by Gert-Rudolf Flick, grandson of 바카라사이트 pro-Nazi war criminal Friedrich Flick, to withdraw his funding for 바카라사이트 post will lead to greater rigour in screening procedures for all potentially controversial bequests, donations and endowments.

But Henry Drucker, who headed fundraising for Oxford University at 바카라사이트 time, said 바카라사이트 campaign against accepting Dr Flick's Pounds 360,000-plus endowment, for a part-time professorship in European thought at Balliol College, had scared off 바카라사이트 publicity-shy German and could put off would-be benefactors.

Dr Drucker, who now runs 바카라사이트 fundraising consultancy Oxford Philanthropic, said 바카라사이트re were no apologies to make over 바카라사이트 choice of Dr Flick who was approved separately by 바카라사이트 university's ethics committee. "I simply do not think that Dr Flick wanted 바카라사이트 publicity."

But David Cesarani, Alliance Family professor of modern Jewish studies at Manchester University who opposed 바카라사이트 Flick donation, said: "It seems to be an act of sheer petulance on behalf of Dr Flick. All he has now achieved is hurt for Oxford and still he has done nothing for 바카라사이트 survivors. I think universities must think very, very carefully about gifts in future."
