I have to agree with your sentiments
flyboyike. I also received a message, as an ERAU Alumni, to make a donation.
I've never been inclined to donate money neither to my high school nor to my university alma maters, always having felt that I have "paid my dues" in high tuition during my university years.
I believe thought that there is room for donation, and in the case of corporations who employ ERAU graduates it is very appropriate. Lets face it, Corporate America benefits by receiving (at the going market rate) well educated individuals who have been motivated enough to fund their own education. The corporations are really the biggest benefactors of universities like ERAU, and especially the airlines, none of which (in the USA) have their own ab-initio pilot training scheme.
For this reason, I would applaud most US aerospace companies lining up with their checkbooks. That and insurance should see ERAU coming out strong with only some inconvenience.
