At top universities, Hillary has gotten 83% of ALL faculty, administration, and employee donations,

[pnwmom]

Bernie got 7 %. And Trump got NONE.

It's interesting that university staff skew so strongly to Hillary and not the Democratic socialist who appeals to more of their students.

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/lawnewz-investigates-at-top-ten-universities-hillary-got-83-of-all-employee-donations-trump-zero-literally/

We spent days combing through Federal Election Commission records, and determined that the employees at the nation’s ‘Top 10? universities are overwhelmingly in support of Democratic presidential candidates. In fact, according to our analysis, Hillary Clinton got a whopping 83% of all donations from professors, administrators, and employees. Since last January, she brought in nearly $1 million from these university employees. The next closest is Bernie Sanders who received 7% of all donations or about $65,000. Apparently, professors don’t love Bernie as much as their students do.

However, there is one Presidential contender who university employees really really don’t like. Republican front runner Donald Trump literally got no donations — not one — in the hundreds that we sorted through.

To conduct our analysis, we used the U.S. News & World Report rankings which puts Princeton University, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, University of Chicago, MIT, Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, California Institute of Technology, and Johns Hopkins University in the top ten. By way of background, Hillary Clinton attended Yale Law School. Bernie Sanders went to University of Chicago. Ted Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard Law School. And, Donald Trump attended The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Employees at Stanford University donated the most to Clinton, giving her more than $200,000. Harvard wasn’t far behind at $172,980. The only Republican candidate who actually made a respectful dent in donations ($33,800) was Jeb Bush who has since dropped out.

Here is the breakdown by school in $$$ donations for Sanders and Clinton:

[oldandhappy]

1. Then why is she apparently out of funds for the primary?

I know she is loaded for the GE.

[pnwmom]

2. Link please. It looks like she is in fine shape to me.

He has been spending millions more than she on ad buys and huge rallies, but she's been the one winning the votes.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/clinton-releases-april-fundraising-numbers-plays-woman-card-for-donations/

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton raised about $26.4 million in primary funds for the month of April, her campaign announced Monday, as well as $9.5 million for the DNC and state parties. She fell slightly short of the $29.5 million she raised in March.

Clinton has about $30 million in cash on hand and has been spending on staffing and voter registration programs across the country to help with turnout efforts and support Democrats who will be running down the ballot in November.

Bernie Sanders' campaign announced Sunday it had raised $25.8 million in April, showing a significant drop from his March fundraising total of $44 million. He has not yet raised money for the DNC or state parties yet, nor has he disclosed how much cash on hand he has for May.

During the course of the campaign, Clinton has now raised $213.5 million and Sanders has raised $210 million.

[oldandhappy]

3. Just recent chatter.

Chatter about spending less than Sanders and chatter about not advertising in Indiana. I am not trying to start a war.

[pnwmom]

5. He's been spending two or three times as much in ads as she has all along.

But it hasn't been paying off.

[Zynx]

15. Why should she waste the money?

[Hortensis]

28. Exactly. It is and always was about the GE.

We are at a turning point in history and have to defeat the GOP. There is no room for the indulgence of trying to pump up wins unnecessarily high in the primary.

But this thread -- Only 7% to Bernie does seem surprising after all the time he has spent on university campuses. It's not that faculty haven't had a chance to consider and even see and hear him...

[WhiteTara]

18. She's winning so handily that she doesn't need to spend money

Bernie on the other hand is burning up the dollars in hopes of catching her. But it looks as though, it will be a waste of other people's money.

[Thinkingabout]

56. A smarter campaign, better managed and she did not travel to the Vatican

Make the money count.

[sadoldgirl]

4. You obviously still have not read

"Listen Liberal". Of course she would, because
they are pretty well off, and they don't have to pay
the high tuition.

I wonder how many donations she gets from
janitors or small farmers or hair dressers, etc.?

[bettyellen]

8. Teachers are well off? Nope. And it is hair dresser, not hear dresser.

[sadoldgirl]

12. Thanks, I will correct it.

[pnwmom]

10. The numbers included classified and part time staff at the University. n't

[bettyellen]

16. and god knows there are less good jobs in education than ever....

[bettyellen]

6. I heard she got almost as much from Green Energy firms as she has from oil too......

[riversedge]

7. Good. They know what is good for America when they see it.

[Waiting For Everyman]

9. It's a 'thank you' note for HRC not pushing free tuition. nt

[pnwmom]

11. A program that 2/3 of the governors would reject won't be all that helpful.

Bernie's free tuition plan would require the states to contribute far more than expanded Medicaid, and they blocked that.

Hillary's program for giving much more in Federal financial aid grants to students who NEED the aid has the advantage that the governors won't be able to stop it.

[Waiting For Everyman]

13. I got free tuition to an eastern state uni in 1968

and I don't think we're poorer now than we were then.

But then, we didn't have certain "staff" making 6 to 7 figures. College also wasn't all about sports, requiring big expenditures on facilities which have nothing to do with education -- but that's another story.

Agreement isn't the problem, that can be arranged in various ways. Arranging something lame takes just as much as arranging something good.

[pnwmom]

14. Oh, really? Then how are we supposed to get the governors to take the free Medicaid money?

You should tell the Obama administration now so we can fix this situation. The Supreme Court said they can't force the states to accept the Medicaid expansion funds, but apparently you know better.

So, if they won't take free Medicaid money (that would require them to pay only 10% in three years), then how the heck do you think we can get them to take Federal tuition funds that would require them to pay 1/3 immediately?

[Waiting For Everyman]

17. I have seen it done better, yes.

There's a difference between what's possible to do, and what's wanted to be done. I am not convinced that either of them want certain things done.

[Human101948]

57. With Dems like you pushing their agenda the Repubs don't have to work so hard...

No socialistic programs. Can't be done!

19. Not surprising that people who deal with information for a living

would support the candidate that provides it, in depth. And accurately.

Thanks much!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Low Information Voters (WINK)

At top universities, Hillary has gotten 83% of ALL faculty, administration, and employee donations,

[mcar]

21. Really interesting report!

[benny05]

22. Not at U of IL

Bernie got quite a bit more than Clinton.

[SidDithers]

48. Welcome to DU...

[jfern]

24. You're confusing donors with amount donated. Fail.

[pnwmom]

25. I confused nothing -- I used the wording from the article. Sorry if it confused you.

[flor-de-jasmim]

26. She gets the free press, people! Bernie spends more because otherwise they make him invisible.

As for getting more money from "top 10" universities, think ESTABLISHMENT.

[pnwmom]

29. Bernie has been getting just as much press as Hillary since New Hampshire.

People know Bernie. They just like Hillary more.

(But Trump has been getting more than all the other candidates put together.)

[Sancho]

27. Educators don't like Bernie's "tuition plan"

Many are part of faculty unions, or have retirement plans invested in Wall Street. Also, they realize Bernie's plan is unrealistic to expect state cooperation.

Bernie is short on social justice too.

Long story short, Bernie has never been in the running with educators or academics.

[Human101948]

59. Many outside of the campuses would see the Professors as coddled

Unless they teach summer school, they are off between May and September and they enjoy long breaks during the school year, including a month over Christmas and New Year’s and another chunk of time in the spring. Even when school is in session they don’t spend too many hours in the classroom. For tenure-track professors, there is some pressure to publish books and articles, but deadlines are few. Working conditions tend to be cozy and civilized and there are minimal travel demands, except perhaps a non-mandatory conference or two. As for compensation, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for professors is $62,000, not a huge amount of money but enough to live on, especially in a university town.

60. In your long experience here, you see that this place is becoming Free Republic?

LOL,

[nolabels]

53. Go in to most any college today and talk to faculty members for long enough.

Eventually they will tell you that their hierarchy sucks, those with good long tenure will tell you right up front.

This whole original post is bogus as a three dollar bill

[pnwmom]

50. For one thing, people who study science need to be pretty good at math.

Unlike some politicians.

[pnwmom]

52. It's ironic that you're here on a message board proclaiming that. n/t

[surrealAmerican]

55. This is by dollar totals.

I wonder what the results might be if it were the number of individual donations.

[glowing]

62. Admin aren't the ones trudging thru years of debt like their students

The admin is likely older, and won't see any effects of the ramp up to wars (their Holstein won't serve). These admins most likely have decent to awesome benefit pkgs. And as women in a highly dominated make field, I'm sure they feel kinship with Clinton. Break that % down into the actual numbers they represent on a campus, and avg age...
