The University of Alabama gave back a philanthropist’s $26.5 million donation and took his name off the law school Friday, a week after he called on students to boycott the institution over the state’s restrictive new abortion ban.
Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr., a 70-year-old Florida real estate investor who didn’t attend the school, said he has no doubt the board of trustees acted in response to his remarks.
And he complained that the state of Alabama was only reinforcing its reputation as “the land of the backward,” full of “hicks.”
University officials denied the decision had anything to do with Culverhouse’s stand on the abortion law, and said it was prompted by his attempts to dictate how the cash should be spent.

Good! Let these killers know they can't dictate what happens just because of their money. And their personal insults have repercussions. Stand up!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good thing. The academic elite are biting the hand that feeds them. Beginning of the end for these HATE AMERICA so called professors.
ReplyDeleteLOL their loss.
ReplyDeleteGood. Please put that money to use somewhere that needs it. Talk about being short sighted. Hopefully others will not donate to the school moving forward as they must have way to much already.
