According to Bok, the chance to broaden financial aid convinced alumni that it was fair to raise the amount solicited mid-stream. “The argument that really convinced them was the idea that there had been lots of inflation and we had to have a lot of money to ensure that no deserving student with the proper credentials would be turned away...
...Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament; who cleaned up a tarnished Michigan program, winning a NIT Championship in the process; who generated the second-ranked recruiting class in the nation in 2000 while with the Pirates.And he needs the fans, not recruits, not administrative help.

And Mbeki himself has expressed skepticism that HIV causes AIDS. But Madlala-Routledge's true crime, say close observers, was lack of loyalty...
