They called me on land line and cell phone. Asked if I still lived at my street address. I said no, and I don't want to update it either. I think it was the University of Alaska Alumni Association.
These people are always calling for money. You tell them to stop. They keep calling, calling, calling. You tell them you don't support their decisions: paying top executives over $300-400k and then raising tuition rates every year 5-10 percent, charging for every thing like the gym and parking, even if you are an online student, and not investigating sexual assaults, harassment, and discrimination complaints as required by other agencies. When they have budget issues, they cut and take from the students, not the administrators: "Let's scrap the free tuition for high school honor students. Let's raise tuition and fees. Let's scrape the ski program." In addition, look at the staff and student populations. Are they as diverse as possible? Do they match the general diversity in the community? No, they don't. I don't see one officer on that police force that even looks he may be related to an African American; and if one is hired, does that person make it to retirement? In fact, I don't see many such students on campus. Furthermore, they terminated employees without cause because Alaska is a right to work state and can, and sometimes use a lot of money to enforce their unfair actions; so much money, that even the employees, who did nothing wrong, can't fight back. Their actions cause so much stress they victimize even the strongest. They are all protecting themselves. I remember one person in HR (RK) saying when it comes to justified lawsuits against UAA, "We have our ways" when asked how do they side-step their wrongs? Basically, they will spend $1000's and more to make a victim look bad in set-up scenarios and investigations, so their illegal actions are minimized. Maybe, if they managed the millions they are ready received and act more righteously, they would stop calling because they would have more money. The only people, who go to school here, are limited in choices, uniformed, or have scholarships. I would suggest they rent out all those new multi-million dollar buildings, build in the last 5-10 years and are sucking money in utilities like a drunk drinking free Keystone beer. Also, retain diversity and treat students and employees more justly without firing for convenience sake. So, hell no.....I am not giving you money to support or continue illegal, unjust, and self-serving actions. Bottom line: Quit calling!
