lol there is one person in this whole thread who’s getting mad, but it’s not me

and yes, as someone else said, it’s no big deal for someone to contact the business office of an institution and offer money on the condition of anonymity and other conditions. and the business people say okay, forms are filled out and signed, and money is transferred. they want to be anonymous because they don’t want all the other institutions calling them asking for money too. and/or they don’t want the world to know they’re the ones influencing the school’s spending

no one wants donors to be able to influence whoever they’re donating to. but that’s how reality works
