Endowed positions always come with strings and the donor certainly has the right to decide how his money is going to be spent.

Well...within limits. A donor can usually determine how a professorship will be directed--an ancient historian, a particle physicist, or an economist--but major problems exist when donors, for political reasons, are allowed a role in vetting prospective candidates. This is the sort of thing that members of the athletic booster club demand; it's not the sort of thing any reputable college or university ought to countenance in an academic department, and I am certain it goes against the standards of the AAUP (American Association of University Professors).
