Come on...
I think if you want to take the position that private money should not be given to schools to prevent bias that's fine, but you would need to extend that to all private funds, IMHO. That means the schools are essentially only receiving funding from the gubmint...
And as we all know, the gubmint doesn't have an agenda, right?

Rick, please read my entire post before responding with such a question.
"...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."
I'll again give the case of Schulich at McGill. He came to the administration of the university and said I have this money, what would you like to do with it? They said well, we've been promising the music faculty a new building for years now, let's do that. And voila, within a few years Sherbrooke St. has a huge new presence. Apparently he's done this at several universities.
