Harris Ranch wants to control Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo University with money.

It appears that if Cal Poly-San Luis University  wants to continue to get contributions from the Harris Ranch folks all future controversial speakers at the University's Ag department will not be able to speak by themselves.  They will have to appear in a group forum type arrangement, presumably with a Harris Ranch official in opposition. Consider the threatening letter below regarding an appearance by famed writer Michael Pollan:

 

Harris ownership of Cal Poly

In your letter you condemn the reps of the univ for the $5000 offered...I'm not sure how that is substantially different in principle to Harris buying the rights to determine the curriculum at a university. Money talks, baby...and it obviously has spoken to you, too. What are you guys afraid of???

Why not just change the name

Why not just change the name to Cal Poly - Harris Ranch, and get it over with?
