The City University of New York must really be rolling in dough. The school’s administration recently turned down a $10 million grant from the Koch brothers to establish a new financial center at Brooklyn College. The business dean explained that he would have to focus on the school’s accreditation process instead. As if receiving a large donation has ever stood in the way of accreditation.

Obviously, CUNY is bowing to its left-leaning constituencies who believe that any dollar touched by a member of the Koch family must be tainted. Never mind that Koch money has been accepted by Harvard University, the Catholic University, and Baylor, to name just a few. CUNY is above all that.
