The problem is that leveling is unlikely to occur. The Bucknell administration and Board of Trustees doesn't show any indication of caring. My wife and I were classmates and our son and his wife (and her Dad) graduated from Bucknell. We're exactly the type of family that fits the university's business model. But my wife and I are disgusted with the direction Bucknell has taken. It's telling that it took alumni who care to spend their own money to provide a venue that promotes free speech for students and faculty. Yet this effort was opposed by a large segment of the faculty. The football program is a disgrace. In basketball we're now projected to finish in the bottom tier of the PL. Nathan Davis has run the program into the ground since Paulson's recruits graduated but he won't be fired no matter how bad the team performs (I won't address the reason why but we all know it). The men's lacrosse program is now a shadow of its former self. Other than women's basketball and maybe water polo there is no other sport that is competitive. We've been generous financial supporters of Bucknell since we graduated. No more. We'll drive out to Lewisburg occasionally to visit the antiques venues and Jackass Brewing but we have no more interest - financially or otherwise - in Bucknell. If you told me 10 years ago I'd make that statement I'd have told you you're crazy. Good luck, Bucknell.
