Just got a request for donation from tech. I responded by
writing ZERO on the card and saying, "Not with president sands in office."

I know this is over your head... but if Sands doesn't grow said "donations" and the endowment CONSIDERABLY soon, he will fire himself. Please save your "its not his job" response and your "vt is doing fine with donations" response because neither is true. If Sands wants to keep his job long term, he should take Oakton's card seriously because his school's endowment SUCKS compared to its peers.nolanvt wrote:Oh wow.

Not to encourage you, but you would have been better served donating a nickel. That way, the intern working in Burris cannot simply toss the card in the trash. If they didn’t withdraw a nickel, you’d have good reason to call the intern and ask her why.oaktonhokie wrote:writing ZERO on the card and saying, "Not with president sands in office."

On a side note, is it just a coincidence that all of the football schools have lousy endowments?

Attributing our relatively low endowment to Sands is the height of political silliness.

Re: Just got a request for donation from tech. I responded
Yeah our endowment might seem large...nearing a $billion...but severely behind other schools even in the State where we are 6th. There is no reason that VT should be lagging behind VCU.

The last capital campaign under Steger was a huge success, raising in excess of $1.1B. The next campaign is already in the "quiet phase" and will have a goal of more than $2B.CFB Apologist wrote:I know this is over your head... but if Sands doesn't grow said "donations" and the endowment CONSIDERABLY soon, he will fire himself.

To date I'm not a big fan of Sands nor of his cadre of Ivy League hires across the top of the org chart, but one of them is a top flight fund raiser. They have already consolidated all giving under one umbrella, which was sorely needed. I think this next campaign will be the determinant if VT takes the next step forward.

Re: Just got a request for donation from tech. I responded
I don't think anyone is doing that. The endowment was comically low long before Sands got here. But he will be blamed if it doesn't grow or decreases over the next few years.ip_law-hokie wrote:Attributing our relatively low endowment to Sands is the height of political silliness.

To be clear, to call it a smattering of boos would be a slight exaggeration.
I boo'ed heartily at both mentions of his name. Not at anything he said.

Do you stand for the Anthem in the box? Does it piss you off or annoy you when the corps does their pass and review before the game? Too much "america"?
