No I think he was a moron for handling it the way he did. Trust me those Toyota execs will be concerned with his comments more than his inability to part with the money. He broke the code.

And yes, the school staff are just as much to blame. They knew they were dealing with a business and entering into a business contract. For them to back out and still expect the money is moronic and selfish at best.

YCKTR you say Castleman handled it the right way?

I have a feeling at the end of the month his accountant will say otherwise. I also would bet he has received a phone call or 2 from Toyota corporate headquaters today as well.

The fact that we find out this was $8000 total split between the 4 students make it even more laughable and not $32000.

I have a feeling Mr. Castleman is gonna wish he had given that $8000 scholarship out without making a fuss when this is all said and done.

He could have presented the scholarships in a setting other than the graduation ceremony (hell, even immediately afterwards on the sidewalk out front), with all the banners and media he wanted, and the kids would not be scrambling in June for a way to pay for college.

——

Totally see your point Lori - and I agree he probably could have handled it differently. But I don’t think he handled it the wrong way. The school agreed to something and then backed out. The school reneged, not Castleman. Why should he give the money out on the sidewalk? That wasn;t the deal. And chances are he doesn’t care about kids or whether they go to college…the important part was that he was willing to part with some money that could be used to help some kids go to college. The school should have seen that as PARAMOUNT. Instead, they refused to deliver…and they have no right to compain about it.

Now…here’s something to think about. Where the hell are the students in all of this? The money would have affected their lives…not the lives of the staff. And the graduation ceremony is about them…not the staff. Why the hell couldn’t they get it together enough to say, collectively, “we think this money is really important, so we’d like our graduation ceremony to be handled in a way that ensures delivery of that money.”

The school should be ashamed for not only screwing up the deal, but also failing to produce assertive, self-actualized students.
