Anonymous Financial Donors Bring Relief to Colleges

  The common denominator that seems to have generated the most fascination is that every institution is led by a woman. “Obviously, the giver of these gifts is a person of great wisdom,” said Dr. Cole of Montclair State. “I’m only partly facetious. We’ve had to work very hard to get where we are, and I believe that women presidents are great caretakers of their institutions and their students.” What a sexist pig. If the genders were reversed, the media would be calling for the university president's resignation. Why do people accept sexism in one direction but not the other?

    In the first CS course I took as an undergraduate, the professor spent about 5 minutes in the first lecture talking about the sizes of endowments various universities had -- I did my undergraduate degree at a fairly young institution which consequently doesn't have much money -- and asking us to remember the university when we became rich. I don't know if I'm going to become rich, but if I do, I certainly plan on fulfilling his request.
