Dr Dre removes university boast post about daughter
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
Her dad's name is all over the goddamn university. No way would I not get it if my dad's name wasn't plastered all over the university.

Imagine if your dad had buildings named after him at USC but you had to settle for Full Sail.
Why are people giving Dre shit here? His daughter probably worked her ass off. As a parent there is nothing that makes you more proud than seeing your kid work hard and accomplish a goal.
Also, dude gave $70 million to an institute of higher learning. Good for him in sharing his wealth and trying to do a good thing with his money.
You all are all so gaddam cynical. He's proud of his daughter and wants to help the University of the City he loves. Take a deep breath folks and feel compassion. It's like you read something on the internet and the worst version of you can't help but come out. Just stop.

What were her marks? If her marks were good enough then that could present a possible way Dre could post that picture. What if he was proud of his daughter because her marks were good?
People are just giving him shit over a tone deaf but harmless tweet in the wake of the admissions scandal. It ain't that deep. Everyone will forget about this tomorrow.
To be fair, she actually took her standardized tests herself and met the universities minimum requirements.
Especially one as well-off as USC, why not give it to a bunch of smaller schools?
It is and it isn't. There is clearly a distinction between donating to a school to help others and spending your money to look after your own. However, do you think that Dre's daughter had any chance of not being accepted there after a prior 70 million dollar endowment? Jared Kushner was a C student in high school and yet he got into Harvard after his old man ponied up enough to build a gym. It's a distinction with a difference, but both end with the same result for the child of the privileged. It is just far less sordid.
Yeah the post was somewhat tone deaf, but his daughter probably could have gotten in on her own. And to be perfectly honest, it's hard for me to get angry on minority applicants getting an advantage given how the upper tier college system does not reflect the diversity of the actual populatioin
If my pops had $70 million to loan, I dont think I'd bother wasting my time at a university.
I could probably get a similar education from the library. No need to worry about money at that point.

Damn, I feel so sad and angry at the same time. Your grandma surely loved you a lot, and 20k is no joke to save for someone you love :(
come on...and it just so happens that the university his kid is applying to is the one he gave $70,000,000 to?
no one gives that much money to an ivy league school from the kindness of their hearts.
So that the university can offer more services to students. Universities do tons of work that doesn't generate revenue, donations allow them to continue doing that work.
yea, awful look.
I'll take Nepotism for $400, Alex.
Quite right, it's awesome that he had that much to donate to USC. But somehow he didn't connect the dots that a school that probably has your name on a building right now (or at least a wing) would be very unlikely to decline your child entrance. Especially if they are also a demonstrably good student which I'm sure she is.
It's an open secret that prestigious institutions muddle their diversity numbers by stacking their class with privileged children of color and international students instead of giving opportunities to PoC kids that need it the most and would do well at said institutions.
Eh, these large scale donations are what allow the universities the ability to give out tons of scholarships for the less privileged.
Oh he knows, his comment is stupid as hell. There is nothing wrong with donating $70 million to a university though, that money is going to go a long way to benefit thousands of students and employ tons of staff and faculty doing important work.
I don't think anyone's saying that she didn't make an effort.
That's the crux of social media, though. You are free to engage in your own delusions. But when you make them public, you can't expect other people to do the same.

Is this like when they told us that one Kardashian was the world's youngest "self-made" billionaire?
I doubt that those in need make up a significant number of the students in that program, muchless that institution. A donation like that would have a stipulation that money could only be used for that program. Not to mention that administrative costs will burn through that money pretty quick. That also doesn't make my statement any less true.
Rich students and foreign students paying out the ass for school is what allows the schools to fund scholarships for other students.
The school wasn't implicated though?
I'm honestly confused about how being proud of your daughter getting into a school can cause a backlash. Especially if it's just taking a stab at people who went through a ridiculous process to get their kids into schools.
Give the kid 10% of that money, and they are pretty much set for life anyway. They don't need school.
People have been known to forget about Dre.
I agree, but this is often overlook for some reason even though rising administrative costs have come under public scrutiny lately.
