Arts and Sciences on Campus 43 the dean and the major gift officer tried to schedule their time/ appointments with alumni from the Department of Portu- guese, not the Department of Greenlandic Norse. The departments cited are fictitious, but this scenario happened for two comparably situated departments at one public University; it repeats itself at many other universities. The relationship of the dean of Arts and Sciences with the other deans on campus probably presents the greatest potential for mean- ingful cooperation, while also having its share of challenges, especially if the University focuses on constituency fundraising metrics. This is true especially at the larger universities, where the sheer number of colleges and schools cause fundraising competition and where advanced profes- sional schools like law or medicine create overlap among potential donors. Campus deans who cooperate well can seamlessly hand off donors, and even see one another’s donors in their travels; the deans who do not cooperate well because of cross-pressures will soon feel the same incentive as gift officers who do not cooperate, which is to guard their best prospects from the watchful eyes of others. The situation varies greatly by college and school. The Arts and Sciences dean with law or medicine on campus may have a difficult time with those “double degree” students. Donors may be fonder of their undergraduate than their professional school years, but lawyers are expected within the professional confines of the state bar to support the law school, just as doctors are pressured by peers to assist the medical school. The Arts and Sciences dean can try to persuade donors to support the undergraduate program feeding into the professional schools, but he/she doesn’t have much to offer other than nostalgia for the youngest days of the college experience. In some cases this works because of the close connection that happens between students and faculty teaching lightly-enrolled upper-division courses in Arts and Sciences. Often the best bet is to ask for a student scholarship in the undergraduate Arts and Sciences major that was the ticket to a successful career in law or medicine. The situation vis-à-vis a business school is very different. Here
