Arguments notwithstanding, Money won. For even longer, students have been asking for the name of Cyclone Stadium to be changed to Jack Trice Stadium. Jack Trice has no stigma attached, to my knowledge. He was Iowa State's first black football player, and he was killed in his first game by an opposing team whose school definitely did not have a multicultural diversity program. But despite over a decade of popular support from the students and annual legislation by GSB, the stadium is still Cyclone Stadium.
Money wins again.
In this country's government, and in this university, you get what you pay for, and your tuition is not paying for much. Those Stafford Loans may seem like a lot of cash to you, but it's pocket change to the ISU Foundation, which processes donations to this university, just as an individual's personal contribution to the Clinton campaign is to the political action committee. My objection to commercial presence on campus is manifold. And that is an accurate impression. This university sells influence.
