Likewise, in most situations there are demanding donors who want information and to be kept in the loop about what is going on. The question gets asked and an answer is given. Even if there is an admonishment not to tell anybody, people generally tell somebody else with the admonishment not to tell anybody and it spreads quickly from there. That's why I don't blame Wyoming for what happened. The same thing could, and probably will, happen at NDSU. Lord knows there are enough people even on this site demanding information about things they have no business knowing.
