It seems as though some people choose not to donate to RPI because they're concerned that if they do, RPI may not spend all of their money the way they think it ought to be spent to support the students and the school.

Others, it seems, choose not to donate because they don't like the fact that Dr. Jackson has accepted appointments from Democratic Presidents Clinton and Obama.

Well, I know one thing. If I donate zero to RPI, RPI will spend zero of my money to support the students and the school.

I intend to continue to donate to RPI as long as I am able - even if, in the future, we have a president who once accepted an appointment from President Bush I, Bush II, or Trump. :p

I could give a **** what her political leanings are. She's driven the school directly into the ****ing ground.

Not a penny until she's gone. If the school wants to support itself and its students, they'll do the right thing.

Could not have posted it or worded it any better. We have felt this way for several years and the feeling just keeps growing. I will always be proud of the school that accepted me, took a chance with me, and helped carve out my future. But that does not mean I have to be happy with the way it is run.

What appointments from Obama has she accepted? Last I checked, she's still head of RPI, meaning she didn't accept another position. Republican and Democrat is just a curtain.

President Obama appointed her to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in 2009 and she served on that council until 2014. Obviously, it was not the sort of job that required her to give up her position as RPI's president.

They can do better than hiring RPI grads? Does that imply that they are admitting that they do a poor job of preparing RPI students for the job market compared to other schools?

It could just as easily mean that RPI graduates command such a high starting salary that they can find someone to do a slightly inferior job for a lot less money....

That would be Jeremy Coupal. Coup was the video co-ordinator for the Preds but has been with Edmonton the past 2 years.

Ralph, let me break up this Memorial Day long weekend with a post... ;)

Enjoy the unofficial beginning of Summer! And RPI's next hockey game is 126 days away.
Any word on where Bryan Vines will land?
