LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Campus cronyism

Dear Reader,

We’ve all seen how college campuses have become safe spaces for extreme political ideas and coddled millennials.  

 But what if they’ve also become safe havens for cronyism and corruption?

In the case of the University of Texas system, that’s exactly what happened. And when a responsible government official named Wallace Hall attempted to investigate how legislators were getting their unqualified family members and friends into the school, they responded by trying to remove him from his position!

 

 

Hall was vindicated when Watchdog reporter Jon Cassidy began to investigate.  After examining thousands of pages of information and connecting the dots, Cassidy discovered that Hall was undeniably right. Lawmakers were contacting university administrators to get their children, their donors’ children, and even themselves admitted to the university.

 

 

As you’ll see in this video we’ve prepared exclusively for our supporters, not only did applicants with connections have a greater chance of getting admitted, many of them were woefully unqualified to attend the school.

 

Hall credits Watchdog.org with vindicating him, and after our bombshell investigative reporting exposed the truth, the university did its own investigation and confirmed our findings.  But as Wallace Hall and Jon Cassidy will tell you, the fight to rid the Texas government of cronyism and end the good ol’ boys network is far from over.

 

We know there are people like Wallace Hall all over this country who need our help to expose government misdeeds. Watchdog is prepared to help whistleblowers and good citizens all over the country, but we need your support to continue this work into 2017.

 

Will you make a $25, $50, or $100 donation today to support more investigations like this one?  Your support is what makes our investigations, like the one that vindicated Wallace Hall, possible.

 

Thank you for your continued support. We couldn’t do it without you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Nicole Neily

President
