Both of my kids went to college and graduated in 2004 and 2008. I have since been hit up by callers asking that I, as an alumni parent, make donations to the university XYZ.
I explain to them that this XYZ university is my son or daughter's college and I paid them plenty in tuition already. Now I give my money to MY alma mater and if XYZ want more money they need to ask my kids.
Is this something that all colleges do now?
I asked my dad, if after I graduated (this was back in 1974), whether my college ever asked him for money (after I graduated!) and he said no.
Anybody having the same experience?
