Acting against gun violence

The News and Observer - Opinion Piece

College Students need to learn about money

Richmond, Ky., Register - Opinion Piece
January 18, 2008

Colleges ought to, if only to protect their long-term interests.  Alumni overwhelmed by debt are never going to drop big dollars in the endowment fund.  Colleges need to train people to think about money the way Warren Buffet thinks about money. They might be in line when someone gives a vast fortune to charity like Buffett did.
