...would recommend that a small, representative advisory group of faculty, students, and development officers be established to examine potential gifts to the Kennedy School. The review should concentrate on the conditions of the donations in the light of certain criteria; the group would not review unrestricted gifts to the general fund.

If this is the end result, then that which a team of investigative reporters labored so hard to prevent will have occurred...
