- I don't know if this sounds like alumni running the show a bit too much.. getting the college to start charging students | |||
to fund events for alumni? It's especially silly since alumni in theory have more money than students. The difference with | |||
the example of the new gym etc is that it was aimed at future students, who would be equally unable to pay for it. | |||
I think a better way would be for the university to put a larger initial investment in, and follow that up with raising | |||
money from alumni which would pay for the alumni office to keep going and keep organising events. Ideally, if alumni fund | |||
raising takes off (which is every bit as reasonable an assumption as alumni attending events or giving their time to | |||
organise events), then eventually it would pay for itself and the college wouldn't have to contribute any funds. | |||
