'It has been painful to witness administrators at the university choose zealotry over the well-being of its own students,' he wrote.
Real estate mogul and philanthropist Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr. is speaking out after University of Alabama trustees voted to return over $20 million he had donated to the state's law school.
"It has been painful to witness administrators at the university choose zealotry over the well-being of its own students, but it's another example of the damage this attack on abortion rights will do to Alabama,"."The bill will not survive a court challenge, and likely will cost the state a great deal in court fees and other expenses that could be used to help its citizens. But for those who support it, that collateral damage doesn't even merit a passing thought.
"It has become clear that the donor's expectations for the use and application of that gift have been inconsistent with the essential values of academic integrity and independent administration of the Law School and the University," St. John said in a statement."Despite the diligent efforts and good faith of our Dean and President, there is no path forward consistent with those values.
