<p>AP930. That Princeton thing was from the NYT Archives. The date on the article appears to be March 1993. Unless I missed it there is nothing on the PU website indicating they have stopped. There is a full Wrestling schedule for 2009-09.</p>

<p>The problem is current and is affecting many college endowments.</p>

<p>Here is a video released today (November 10, 2008) from MarketWatch on the problem:</p>

<p>Cornell is offering to raise $120 million more for financial aid <em>cheer</em>!</p>

25

<p>haha…they’d better not call me again and ask for more money!!! I’ve given them a lot this cycle :-)</p>

26

<p>How much does an alumni usually donate, or how much does the school ask an alumni to donate? <em>taking out calculator</em> hehehe (evil laugh)</p>

27

<p>The alumnus can donate whatever amount he/she is able to afford. Usually with the senior campaign most students give $20-$25…the Class of 2008 raised a significant amount :-D</p>

<p>You also have the option of designating where you’d like your donation to go (ie. unrestricted gift, to a specific college or athletic program). I donated a fairly significant amount of money (for the senior campaign) and requested that it be given to CALS. This way I feel a little bit better about the fact that I can’t really afford to donate money for a few years.</p>

<p>Colleges Struggle to Preserve Financial Aid</p>

<p>Even make harder to get financial aid…</p>

30

<p>i dont think the financial aid situation will be that bad, every year they try to get alumni to donate to a specific area and this year it was financial aid, so they SHOULD be well prepared</p>

<p>I’m going to post this on a new thread as well to alleviate some stress prospective students/families are feeling now. </p>
