One tactic that I don't think was mentioned in the article (I got tired and skimmed the last half) are consultants who plan donations to prospective colleges and universtities that their children will eventually apply to.

So John or Susie's parents, while they're still in middle school, get advice from their college counselor that Princeton's biology lab (for example) is relatively underfunded in relation to other university projects. The parents become patrons of the lab and Princeton, and when admissions time rolls around...

Best, Charles
