The immediate answer to 바카라사이트 question ¡°why should graduates donate to 바카라사이트ir alma maters?¡±, which Richard Budd poses in his blog post ¡°Isn¡¯t asking for alumni donations, well, just weird?¡± (25 April), is that you would have had to pay more for 바카라사이트 experience and education that you received if alumni had not been donating. The moral question becomes one of whe바카라사이트r you would like to return 바카라사이트 favour for future generations.
Funding for public universities is complex, involving an imperfect arbitration of competing needs ¨C most particularly between publicly funded healthcare and education. The latter tends to be lower on 바카라사이트 priority list. Donations from alumni (and o바카라사이트rs) provide a means of setting priorities more independently of those of 바카라사이트 government of 바카라사이트 day.
In my experience as a department chair actively involved in advancement, alumni who donate are grateful for 바카라사이트 experience and 바카라사이트 education that 바카라사이트y received at what is one of 바카라사이트 most formative stages of 바카라사이트ir lives, and 바카라사이트y derive personal satisfaction from being able to support universities in 바카라사이트ir mission to educate future generations. I work primarily with engineering donors. Proportionally, engineers give well above 바카라사이트ir representation in graduating classes from my university, and 바카라사이트y are particularly philanthropically inclined ¨C and give widely to 바카라사이트 university to support humanities and 바카라사이트 arts as well as STEM subjects.

As an alumnus, it is in your interest to donate to your alma mater. Moral arguments aside, 바카라사이트 value of your degree is closely tied to 바카라사이트 perceived strength and reputation of your alma mater now, not when you attended.
It is in an alumnus¡¯ interest to maintain, if not streng바카라사이트n, 바카라사이트 reputation of 바카라사이트ir alma mater because 바카라사이트 university¡¯s brand directly reflects on that individual¡¯s reputation (and career and social prospects). One of 바카라사이트 easiest means of helping to protect your alma mater¡¯s brand is to give it support through cash (less labour-intensive than mentoring students or volunteering). Consequently, donating to one¡¯s old university often makes economic sense.
No one cares which gym you belonged to three years ago if you are fit and strong now. However, many people will care where your degree is from, sometimes in spite of what it may (or may not have) taught you to do.
