Not being a Purdue alumni or live in Indiana, I'd be far more inclined to donate to almost any other university, rather than to a state flagship R1.

It's a good idea to donate what we can where we can.

Donate somewhere.

I sent money to the Too Broke to Go Home Fund (not its real name) at my alma mater in addition to the Needed a Fifth Year (also not its real name) fund to which I always donate.

Matt Reed at IHE summarized well my thought on Purdue's fundraising efforts.


Good for you, Polly!  W00T!!!
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

The Too Broke to Go Home Fund sounds like a worthy cause.  It's kind of a shame that's not the real name.  I guess euphemism is sometimes necessary to help the recipients of assistance maintain dignity.
If in this life only we had hope of Christ, we would be the most pathetic of them all.  But now is Christ raised from the dead, the first of those who slept.  First Christ, then afterward those who belong to Christ when he comes.
