most here are aware of the warren and charlie's endless thoughts on the link between core character and partnerships, business and otherwise.
"Remember that reputation and integrity are your most valuable assets—and can be lost in a heartbeat."

thus, i found it interesting when charlie retracted a donation to a public university when they rejected a prison-styled student dormitory of charlie's own design as a condition.
(keep in mind charlie has no formal training in architecture)

on one hand, UCSB sits in one of the world's richest enclaves, and can afford to reject the money. i guess its UC and taxpayers that actually lose out. on the other hand, charlie has his bases covered with his quotes on cognitive dissonance.
