He chose not to do this. He chose, instead, to believe unsubstantiated reports on the internet about Mr. Truong's "guilt" - without the benefit of a single court hearing or the ultimate determination of fact in the Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988819177523345400.post-36031849766698354532007-10-27T11:24:00.000-05:002007-10-27T11:24:00.000-05:00Jan wrote:"If you had really wanted to give money ...Jan wrote:<BR/>"If you had really wanted to give money to Texas Tech, you could have just donated it to the University with any strings - or none - that you wished to have attached to it; I'm sure TT would have been pleased to accept the funds directly from you.

He's received hate-mail, has he? He published his email for all the world to see when publicly announcing that he had pulled funding from the Reshevsky Memorial. He provides his rationale for what he did, but the bottom line appears to be that what he did and how he did it upset a LOT of people.
