- 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. | |||
