Giving to the Youngstown State University’s Annual Fund has reached a record high this year.
The campaign, which raises money for a variety of college and departmental programs and initiativesas well as student scholarships, brought in $1.68 million from more than 4,000 donors in fiscal year 2011, according to preliminary counts by the Office of University Development.
That’s an all-time high for the university and represents a 16-percent increase over the previous year. In the last eight years alone, the fund has nearly quadrupled.
“People throughout the campus and the community believe in the mission of YSU, and they want YSU to succeed,” said Jacci Daniel-Johnson, coordinator of annual giving. “When it comes to donations, people want to give to successful and positive ventures. Success follows success.”

No worries. The unions will drain this hog trough in no time.
As long as the current YSU administration and the Board of Trustees continue to negotiate and approve fiscally irresponsible contracts with the employees, I will not give one cent to YSU. I believe in the mission of YSU but I see too much waste going on there, and tuition going up every year.
