No,
corporations. I would have thought that would be clear by now! I explicitly stated above that I have no problem with private individuals making donations.
I suppose if we want to get really specific the point of me saying it is that it's the influence that has to go, not the the money, but typically corporations use money to buy influence whereas private donors use money to make improvements or to say thanks. I'm sure you can find exceptions to these, but generally that's the case. Even then, it's more donations to school boards, teacher's associations, etc. that affect the elementary and secondary school systems that really bother me, because kids at that age are much more impressionable think far less critically than those in university.
