OK, somebody shows up at a university and says I have a million bucks to give but I want it used this way. What is the problem?
Donations should not be used to politically influence teaching at public universities. The schools should be trying to hire the best qualified profs they can find, not the ones that fit a certain ideology. In this case the Kochs themselves interfered with the school's search for qualified candidates. That's highly unethical. Ethical school officials refuse such donations.
There are plenty of private colleges and universities where the stated mission is conservative indoctrination. The Kochs should stick with those.
