Donor Bill of Rights
Not being harassed is not specifically listed on the Donor Bill of Rights. So, technically the Darmouth and Cornell senior class fundraisers who put a full court/class press on peers to donate to their class gift didn't violate anything official. But is that what donors want or deserve? The Chronicle of Higher Education story included student comments which were both positive and negative (the majority included) about the experience. We know that generation Y is more likely to vote early and vote often with their feet. So giving them reason to feel the giving experience wasn't good in the very beginning seems to out weigh the goal of getting them to give early.
