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.
For our light affliction, which is only for a moment, works for us a far greater and eternal weight of glory.  We look not at the things we can see, but at those we can't.  For the things we can see are temporary, but those we can't see are eternal.
