Chancellor Kirwan’s ‘megamail’ fundraising message rolled out this morning to all employees, asking for donations to Maryland Charities. He reminds us, as “remarkably generous and civic-minded men and women”, that:

[T]he demand for the essential health and human services MCC organizations provide continues to expand. Whether it be food and shelter for the needy, heath care for the elderly and infirmed, or assistance for our veterans, there remains tremendous
unmet need in our communities.

We agree. But judging from the newly-razed president’s house (making way for an event facility), lavish parties feting transitions of administrators, and immense buy-outs of athletic staff contracts in order to cherry pick an elite even if non-academic operation, Brit must have sent a very different fundraising letter to the one-percenters.
