There aren’t many colleges that don’t do this! Perhaps this was bad timing but it’s not a first I promise you.

Agree. Very standard. And sure, it might have been appropriate

to hold off during a pandemic but I would argue that’s only because of the heightened sensitivity we see these days. In general terms, it’s always a touchy subject.

I just sent the same emails out my friends and family.

It's the timing that's the problem--pretty thoughtless.

“As we are experiencing some tragic times in our country and seeing the loss of some loved ones, we were thinking of our beloved donors. We thought this would be a great time to mention if you happen to find yourself on the wrong end of this virus, hopefully you all will leave us some money after you die. Besides, you earned that money due to the education this university gave you. We aren’t saying you should leave us all your money, just leave a little less to your kids and family. We hope you make it out of this epidemic alive, but just in case you don’t, please contact your lawyer and leave us a little something. Thanks, Ole Miss.”

The Clemson office of planned giving sent out something similar this weekend. Sounded like it was written a month ago and scheduled for this week...of course not knowing what would be happening now.

Gotta know when to pull the plug on something like that


Mar 25, 2020, 11:03 AM

I wonder if they que this stuff up in the email system weeks or months in advance to have them auto-send at a certain date and time later. I could understand people forgetting this was in the system, but not physically pushing the send button on something like this right now.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah that is very likely what happened.***

They probably have actuaries figuring the best date to send.

Post Christmas/ New Year and just prior to Easter... Everybody's in the giving mood.

Rather in poor taste...regardless the circumstance. Those that intend to do so, don't need requests made of them.
