So I was looking closely at the US news 2009 rankings today. (Never really paid attention to them before, but I figured they could occasionally be useful.) Anyway I noticed UR has an unusually low alumni giving rank (146) compared with its overall rank (33) or the general alumni giving ranks of other top colleges.

Do you have an idea as to what are the possible causes for this low alumni giving rate?
