The Mary Easley mess has complicated life for N.C. State's fundraisers.
At least, that's what can be gleaned from some of the many letters and e-mails contained within last week's massive document dump. NCSU is releasing hundreds of pages of documents related to the controversial hiring of the state's former First Lady as a federal investigation into her husband's dealings continues.
If you want to read through these hundreds and hundreds of documents, go for it. Here's the link.
In reading through some of this, I've been struck by the damage being done to fundraising as the details of Mrs. Easley's change in pay and job description last year emerge. Clearly, some NCSU alums are less than thrilled with their university.
In one exchange, NCSU's development chief, Nevin Kessler, writes a letter to an alum disenchanted with the university for soliciting money from him while at the same time giving Mrs. Easley her new job and a salary of $170,000. In it, Kessler explained the process by which Mrs. Easley received her expanded job duties, emphasizes NCSU's desire to remain affordable, and finishes with a pitch for the alum to change his mind about giving to the university.
"Unrestricted alumni support is what helps balance affordability and quality at N.C. State," he writes. "I hope you will agree that the university merits your financial support."
In another e-mail, we find another angry alum explaining why he's putting the checkbook away. Here's the whole letter, sent to Ann Horner, who directs NCSU's annual giving initiative.
"I received your letter asking for my 2008-2009 gift," the alum wrote. "Simply stated, if NCSU can afford to give Mary Easley an $80,000 salary increase it no longer needs my support. As a three-time NCSU graduate I have always taken great pride in The School and cannot overstate my disappointment in this matter."
"That the Chancellor of NCU would give such a rich reward to the wife of a sitting governor has lowered my respect for the chancellor and, sadly, for The School as well."

The situation can obviously
Wed, 10/21/2009 - 17:58 — AliceWonderlandThe situation can obviously be fixed. I think that what will help would be this site that offers School Fundraising Ideas. They should think first what students like... things like... custom wristbands, badges... That's it! Sometimes you have to make a little investment before asking money...
UNC-CH development execs
Mon, 06/29/2009 - 11:20 — AgentPierceUNC-CH development execs tell me their efforts take a noticeable hit every time one of their faculty fanatics goes off their meds. Which is about "every 90 days".
They simply stop the telemarketing until the smoke clears. Maybe NCSU folks should do the same for a month or so.
Mr. Kessler needs to be
Mon, 06/29/2009 - 10:27 — wiygulMr. Kessler needs to be reminded that Mary Easley was not performing some of the duties that justified the raise.
