Professors nationwide donate to anti-Trump candidate ahead of Georgia special election
The College Fix ^ | June 20, 2017 | by Nathan Rubbelke

A bevy of professors at the top universities nationwide have made campaign donations to a liberal congressional candidate whose candidacy has become a flashpoint of resistance against President Donald Trump and his administration.

A review of donations listed at the Center for Responsive Politics shows that at least one professor at each of the top 15 universities, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, has donated money to Jon Ossoff, the Democrat candidate in a special election in the Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. The analysis turned up no employees or professors at those same schools donating to Ossoff’s opponent, Republican Karen Handel.

“I was also influenced by a desire to resist Trump’s plan to defer to Russia and make America insecure,” Rega Wood, a Stanford philosophy professor and Ossoff donor, said in an email to The College Fix.

Hundreds of dollars from multiple professors and employees at all eight Ivy League institutions have been received by Ossoff through his campaign. All of the Ivy League schools, ranked amongst the top 15 universities, are located in the East Coast and are hundreds of miles away from Georgia’s 6th District.

A broader look at Ossoff donations show that at about 90 percent of the top 100 colleges there was an employee who donated to Ossoff.

Wasted money.

Totally. I'm in the wrong business — I should find a way to run as an anti-DJT and get some of that loot myself.

Just can't do it...If I could lie like that, I'd already be in marketing.

“...American Universities: Institutions of Marxist Indoctrination....”

It’s been building up that way for years. Unless a young person is going into a specialized technical field, such as engineering, these institutions are a total waste of time & money. A young person today would be much better off getting into an apprenticeship program and learn a trade...something that will be useful to them throughout their lives...and can make them some money.
