The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Alum Giving Rate Hits 17-Year Low
Harvard’s rate fell slightly to 39 percent during fiscal year 2006—only a single percentage point lower than the previous year’s rate, but the College’s lowest since 1989.
The alumni giving rate constitutes 5 percent of a school’s overall score in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of America’s best colleges. Harvard dropped to second place—behind Princeton—in the rankings this year. Princeton boasts an alumni giving rate of 61 percent.
A year old but I thought I'd bring it up.
