The whole article is based on the assumption that people make donation to universities as charitable donations. I find that a bit unrealistic. Give money to universities are gesture of appreciation from alumni, gain more opportunities of networking/recognition from the university for the donor and his/her family, etc. For donations with the pure purpose of helping the poor, there are other institutions for that.
