Alumni Associations?

OK, this has gone just a tad too far. CNN is reporting that Cuomo is now investigating the ties between alumni associations and lenders to promote student loans.

As we understand it university alumni associations come in two distinct flavors. One camp is a university sponsored office. The budget is provided and approved by the University proper. The other camp is an affiliated organization, that although related to the university, isn't directly funded by such. It's our belief that the non-university sponsored alumni office should be allowed to engage with any organization it feels promotes its mission. Phooey on Cuomo.

But Cuomo shouldn't stop here. We think he should investigate the relationsip between shoe manufacturers and the atheletic departments of unversity's. What about the Rose Bowl Parade? We saw lots of colleges/university's with floats entered in the parade. That's an unfair promotion for the school. Cuomo needs to get on that. We noticed one time in a college book store that they only sold BIC pens, there were no other brands -- sounds fishy to us! At what point will the citizens of New York announce that Cuomo is clearly grandstanding and not really providing value to the State?

We're getting so boooored of Andrew Cuomo now. We're going to go back to focusing on the work of providing student loans and the participants involved.
