i am concerned a bit about maintaining the reputation of my law school, since status, hierarchy and ranking matter, especially in the law…
One item that goes into the US NEWS AND WORLD reprt ranking system is percentage of alum who donate to the school. it’s supposed to be an indicator of alumni loyalty and involvement.
Therefore, i donate a quarter every year.
I even make it on the $100.00 and under gift lists for the alumni.
I don’t think driving a crap car would hurt the US NEWS AND WORLD report ranking though.
