Holy Cross "Day of Giving" Survey (Survey Monkey)

sader1970...nice idea. I look forward to seeing the results. I wish you had made one question read "did not donate or decreased your donation."

Also, saying the college's position on "the Crusader" could well include everyone out there - those who support its full retention (with sword, etc.) as well as those who oppose its existence in any form.

I left it blank and clicked ok, what did I miss?

1. Are you suggesting that I should have just filled out the survey for you and saved you the time since I already know how you would have responded? 

2. I don't pretend that I am an expert on survey science but worked closely with one who was years ago. I am sure there are flaws and I never pretend to be a J.D. Power, Gallup or Quinnipiac guy.   Results should still be as interesting and factual as most stuff posted here when all is said and done.

3. After 45 and I listened to you on the "you-know-what" subject for 45 minutes yesterday, I can assure every other poster that no one will want to hear your "way around it!"   Actually, I did enjoy your soliloquy - made my day! 

Done!

lol

You can’t! I will share results once I close the survey and don’t want to give interim reports to avoid skewing results. I will tell you that there have been only 31 responses so far. I say “only” because similar surveys sent to 1970 Classmates have resulted in 2 or 3 times as many by this point and there are a lot “fewer” ( did I say that correctly?) of them.

1. Were you aware of the April 6th "Day of Giving" in which meeting a goal of 4,000 donors to Holy Cross within 24 hours would result in an additional donation of $1 million from an anonymous group of alums and parents?

The college’s position on Professor Liew is following the AAUP guidelines regarding academic policy. Catholic University of America is under censure currently. It is ranked at to 90 among Catholic Colleges and Universities in the College Consensus survey.

I made a small donation on the "Day of Giving" for class participation statistics as this is my 25yr reunion. I will make a larger donation at reunion prior to the June 30th deadline.

I donated in spite of the asinine Crusader decision, and Benny Liew response.

You're welcome but I have to admit I am surprised by the lack of responses here. I think it is a sign that people are tired of these subjects, even on Crossports! 

Thanks for providing a nice snapshot of opinions on CROSSPORTS about some current issues. I have to agree that not much more wil come of this, but thank you for your effort.
