Um, if it's anonymous can they influence anything?

The university knows who’s paying its bills and has agreed to keep it a secret.

A truly anonymous donation should be double-blind to the donor AND recipient. If you don’t want credit, don’t expect influence either.

I don't know what you mean by

double-blind to the donor AND recipient

But to me that phrase kinda implies that the donor doesn't know who they donated to. Which…no. It should be blind to the recipient. Entirely blind. But people donating can still choose where to donate to.

He might mean a certain specific group within the university. Ie the donor can donate to the University as a whole, but not say a specific branch of economics.
