<p>I agree that Apple should be paying more in taxes, but trying to link Stanford to the corporate misdeeds of a company that gave it money is a big stretch. Since you’re affiliated with USC: did you know that the $200 million donation that USC received from Dornsife was money made from Herrick Corporation, the largest West Coast steel producer, which has had its own fair share of corporate misdeeds? The Mork family made their money from the Energy Corporation of America, which has been criticized for environmental destruction; they donated $110 million. Should USC have declined those gifts? </p>
<p>For that matter, plenty of schools have roots in dirty money, including Stanford, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon University, and Duke University. All of them were founded by or have strong ties to robber barons (railroad, steel, tobacco, etc.). For shame!</p>
<p>Are you really trying to help students? It seems more like you’re just trying to criticize Stanford in any way you can.</p>
