That’s how it generally goes usually

You should really be proud of your pops.

I’m not a Frenk fanatic. Could care less who’s president. I just know that it’s the fundraising. I have no idea how he’s doing on the fundraising by the way. Yes he has administrative duties and must effectively lead in an academic sense (rankings, etc), but if he’s not fundraising at a high...
