People are very often anti-giving when it comes to making a donation to their alma mater. Not exactly sure why, but I've frequently heard from FU alums and alums of other schools, "Why should I give, they already got enough of my money!?" -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: PA Ram 's message, "It amazes me that more alumns don't send in at least $5 to FU in order to get that rate up given that participation rate is one of the influences on ratings." on Fri April 15, 2005 12:11:10

Many people don't give because they feel slighted in some way by the university. (War story enclosed; click message). -- JoltinJoe, Fri April 15, 2005 14:15:08
- Trenton Ram loves telling that story, and it and many others have demonstrated the historical short sightedness, ineptitude, and lack of unified central purpose among the many departments of our beloved Fordham. It is so recognizable that it has it's own Linnaean classification: "F-upus Fordhamensis" (NT) -- Ram '91, Fri April 15, 2005 14:25:35
