<p>I asked my daughter how she felt about the whole controversy since CofC has consistently been a top choice for her. She kind of shrugged and said as long as the school didn’t dramatically didn’t change, his job was to raise money so what did she care. I know there are some strong opinions about McConnell but I think she’s got a great attitude about it. Bigdaddy88 is right. That job is all about the fund raising now. I also think that if he doesn’t do a good job, he’ll be out of there in no time flat.</p>
<p>I probably feel more strongly about it than my daughter primarily because I have this thing when I see people maligned and it’s not true, it raises my hackles. At the end of the day, my opinion is not the most important though - my daughter’s is since she will be the one possibly attending the college. From what I can tell, she’s somewhat apathetic about it. We’ll see how it impacts the college as a whole with respect to recruitment and funding.</p>
