I graduated in '86 more than 80K in debt. A few times a year I get letters from the alumni association asking for money... The schools althetic program sucks so they don't get much from that... They do get a lot of research grants though...
Do I give money to them? I did, once, but not directly to the school, it was to do some work in the library. I used to also volunteer to do local interviews for kids who really wanted to go to my alma mater, so the school would enlist graduates to do some primary interviews to see where their interests were. Haven't done that in years though.
