Rutgers receives $50G pledge from J&J for 250th birthday

[ru75]

J&J has given and continues to give much more than this gift. They support RU generously. This was promoted because it was part of the 250 kickoff. Why does everything turn into a complaint and whining?

because it should have been at least a symbolic $250,000

I would consider the fact that a minority is white diverse. I would also consider things at RU like #1 Jewish population in America. Anytime where are you outside of the American usual (White and Christian), but even high numbers of specific ethnic groups...I would imagine UCLA likely has a lot of Armenians and Persians which you don't find as much outside of so cal

I think you'd find a lot of variety among whites at UCLA. There wouldn't be as many Jews as at Rutgers, but Rutgers has by far the larger campus population. The immigration to California over the last century has brought many different ethnicities. Among the most conspicuous are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the Okies who went there in the 30s: lots of tall blondes.

"Should have?" Says who?

A lot people seem to think J&J has some obligation to give Rutgers money

250 years and 250k would have been memorable More bang for the buck.
