Allison plans this summer to form a group to consider how the K-School can use what it has learned from the Engelhard controversy to protect the interests of donors while simultaneously taking into account the positions of all members of the community. This gifts committee will draw from not only members of the ad hoc committee, but also experienced fundraisers. Allison says he doubts it will ever come up with a definitive statement on gifts. Such a statement coincides with President Bok's position on the ethical implications of gifts, which suggests that...
