Such foolishness has been going on a long time. The following is an excerpt from U. Nebraska's history.
http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/aboutunl/history.shtml
"The university began to outgrow its original four-block city campus, and in 1906 constructed a student activity center, known as the Temple Building. Matching funds for the construction of this building were given by petroleum magnate John D. Rockefeller, a friend of Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews. The donation created an uproar among such Nebraska populists as William Jennings Bryan, who considered Rockefeller's oil money to be tainted."
