    The Sunflower welcomes relevant, thoughtful, and lively discussion that adds to the conversation. (Don't be a jerk.)

    This should apply both directions.

    Strunk....don't be a jerk!
    Not sure if he is a jerk are just stupid. Perhaps it's better to be a jerk. That can be fixed. Hard to fix stupid.

            I think if you'd examine Mr. Woolsey's bank records you'll find a $12 million deposit from Charles Koch.

            Having received my BBA from the Business School, learning of this investment from Mr. Woolsey makes me very happy and grateful of his gift.

              Slightly different facility than the Clinton Hall I spent so much time in a few years ago.

              There’s a bit of a facility war going on amongst the b-schools at the KBoR big three, and until that new building is built, WSU will be trailing the pack. Weird position to be in for the Barton School of Business, historically.

                  Sunflower headline: University administrators bilk elderly couple in $12 million scam
                  “The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

                    Or, similarly...

                    White privilege buys $12M in influence at public university

                    Only the liberal arts are allowed to see progress at WSU. When the business or engineering schools get donations or make money through research it is sad panda.

                      HUGE cost to change the name, for what benefit? Some identification as a power-5 conference that we're not even in? Besides, I'd have to buy an entire new wardrobe.

                        Perception is worth a lot.

                        Also, just think of the wardrobe as retro ;)

                        Shocktop. Perception in what, other than basketball? Business school? Aviation? Music? Engineering? Volleyball? It is wonderful that basketball is currently a primary face of the university, but there are so many other parts that, frankly, generate much more direct revenue to the institution.

                      And the new website is up. 1000 percent better than the antiquated look of before.
