  • Wealth and Influence at GVSU
    What’s in a Name: A Popular Guide to Wealth & Influence at GVSU Why a Guide on Wealth & Influence at GVSU? A few years ago there was a brief opening prompted by some students and faculty to have a discussion about the influence that wealthy donors to GVSU have on the climate at that campus. An article appeared in the student newspaper, The Lanthorn, which generated a significant amount of discussion and an interesting reaction from the administration. GVSU administrators made it clear to students who dared to question the influence that wealthy donors have on campus by telling them to shut up.! Professor Michael Ott wrote to The Lanthorn in response to the issue and articulated the fundamental problem with “corporate donations” to GVSU. “The concern and problem of universities courting corporate donations as a means for their continuance and growth, not only here at GVSU but on campuses across the nation, is historically grounded, particularly in the recent experience of the wealthy and powerful corporate elite’s reconstructing not only the economy but also the supposedly independent realm of politics into a means of furthering and legitimating their own agenda and culture as the national norm.” ! The purpose of this guide is to not only point out the number of wealthy donors to GVSU, but to shed some light on who these people are, what they stand for and how they are influencing policy and practice at GVSU.! Those who have economic power do not donate merely to have their names plastered on the front of buildings, rather the contribution is a way to influence outcomes of institutions like GVSU.
