This is nothing new.

This is nothing new. I was called at home one evening about 25 years ago by a student fundraiser from my alma mater, one of the colleges of the University of London. He started his begging pitch by asking if I knew how little money university lecturers were paid. I told him I did, since I was a lecturer at one of the other colleges of the University of London at the time. Needless to say, the call didn't go on much longer.
