University of Denver Donors Threaten to Withhold Funds if Bush Award Isn’t Rescinded

The storm encircling the University of Denver over its decision to honor President George W. Bush intensified this week as several donors threatened to cut off funding if the university goes through with its plans.

DU Officials chose the former president as its latest “Improving the Human Condition” honoree, an award to be given by the university’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies come September.

That caused an uproar among select students, past and present, as well as some current faculty members. They cited the ex-president’s alleged war crimes, decision to invade Iraq and domestic surveillance programs, not mentioning that President Barack Obama has continued the Bush policy on drone strikes, hasn’t closed the prison at Guantanamo Bay and apparently has embraced the NSA’s existing domestic spying.

Now, the university’s student newspaper reports 10 alumni are threatening to “reconsider their annual donation to DU, gifts which would total $335,000, according to The Clarion.

The University already has bowed to pressure from its liberal students and faculty members, rebranding the honor as simply a “Global Service Award” to acknowledge Bush’s extensive efforts to help those suffering with HIV/AIDS across the African continent.

Breitbart has since posted an update which you can read at the link below.
