I would want to know that it planned to be a good steward of that donation. Almost every college student has this sort of debt, because at most places not even full tuition covers the total cost of an education.

If I were considering a gift to a university, I would want to know that it planned to be a good steward of that donation. Universities with hyper-aggressive investment strategies don't qualify as good stewards, in my book.

Much of what is done by colleges now using what is possibly the worst teaching method could be done much more cost effectively on-line. Law schools seem peculiarly ineffective and expensive at the same time.

I hope to one day give to my undergraduate college and law school, but my wife objects because she says (correctly) that we have gone into a good deal of debt to pay tuition and why would the school need any more money. Many of my law schools friends have expressed the sentiment that tuition is high enough that they hope never to have to give the school another dime. I think this absolutely true.
