Columbia does not deserve alumni donations
Columbia does not deserve alumni donations Selina Yang / Staff Photographer By Joel Berg | April 1, 2021, 12:25 AM
An alumnus of my graduating class at Columbia, CC ’86, recently sent me and roughly 200 other classmates a request to talk with each of us about donating to our alma mater to commemorate our 35th reunion. For reasons that I detail below, I will not be donating to Columbia anytime soon.
Three things remain true: first, Columbia offers a world-class education, which has greatly enriched my life and that of so many others; second, the University is an extraordinarily wealthy and powerful institution, which often uses that wealth and power in counterproductive ways; and third, Columbia is far, far down on the list of institutions that need and deserve more donations, especially at this moment in history.
