The Tales of a University Fundraiser: Sprinkling Stardust: 12 Keys to Successful Fundraising (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514224564)

This book is humorous, instructive and entertaining. It portrays the best and worst of the academy of higher education. The intense politicking and back-biting involved in gaining a toehold in the beneficences accruing from fundraising campaigns are laid bare. Academic governance structures are peeled away to reveal the intense and sometimes bitter interplay between winners and losers in the academic campaign finance game. Academic presentations for funding are summarized in their position to Senate. Most end up on the cutting room floor after receiving "The Order Of the Boot". In this ferociously competitive environment, many Senates have been known to eat their young. In this description of academic governance, the worst leaders of the academy are demonized and sliced and diced. The best are showcased and iconized.
