Mays Caps Ethical Considerations for Potential Donors at $50,000

Last Tuesday, Mays Business School announced a new donation procedure to cap ethical considerations at $50,000. The decision stems from past patrons of the business school coming under fire for recent ethical scandals such as tax fraud.

This new procedure, widely becoming accepted at most universities across the country, takes into account the amount being donated to the school before considering the integrity of each donor. If the potential donation is above $50,000, Mays will uphold the core value of respect by not analyzing any potential skeletons in the donor’s closet.

Mays administrators promoted the policy in a statement to the press. “While we have had some shady individuals as major donors of the business school in the past, we are committed to making sure the future reputation of Mays is upheld through this policy.”

Many business students are on board with the recent change, as they believe it prepares them for the business world and helps clear up any confusion about past donors getting indicted by the United States government.

Dawson Brockman, an accounting student in favor of the change, said, “This has really helped clear up all the guilt I have from walking by the Arthur Andersen signs around the building. Now I know that Mays really didn’t consider the Enron scandal when they accepted the money, it’s okay.”

Another unnamed official from the business school spoke on the potential liability benefits of the policy, saying, “At least when our next big donor commits historically significant tax fraud, we’ll have an out since we don’t even consider their morality when accepting the money. It’s a total win-win!”
