It appears as though Florida State University (FSU) prefers money rather than a reputation as an open university.
Example 1 - the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation gave FSU $1,500,000 with the understanding that the university would develop a program promoting “political economy and free enterprise” in the economics department and the foundation would have a say in the hiring of faculty to teach the program. And the foundation certainly has not been silent with regard to the second point. It has said no to 60% of the professors proposed for the program.
Example 2 - BB&T, a regional bank, gave $1,500,00 also. These funds were for the establishment a Program of Free Enterprise and a course entitled, "Free Enterprise and Ethics". "Atlas Shrugged" will be one of the core books for this course.
And I thought colleges were bastions of liberals.
