Convened by the Secretary of Energy, the National Coal Council (McCall is a member) has laid out an aggressive energy plan using coal over the next two decades.

New transmission lines, like the $6 billion Frontier Line, will carry electricity from the coalfields of Wyoming to consumers in California.

Whatever fundraising advantages alumni admissions gives the College, these benefits do not justify corrupting the admissions process, especially not when our endowment continues to soar upwards of $29 billion.
