Looks like this guys sends in letters all the time. Google search came up with numerous other letters on various subjects in the DMN.
Here's a letter he wrote to respond to an article in the Daily Campus:

As a former student and a donor to SMU, diversity has always been a concern with me. I do not know what goes on behind closed doors of the administration of the university, but personally, the diversity or the lack thereof, is a reflection of the Board of Trustees which is almost all caucastion, the neighborhood it is located in is almost all caucasion, most employees above support staff at the university is almost all caucasion and the people who attend most functions at or related to the university are almost all caucasion. when all of those become diversified, then there will be more diversity in the student body.
Now I think this guy is just an A-hole who likes to complain and is butt-hurt that Orsini isn't kissing him where the sun don't shine because of his tiny Mustang Club donation.

From stories from The Daily Campus and the Dallas morning News, it is ashame that a select few boosters are involved in hiring of the new football coach, especially when there is no offical search committee. Also, boosters have raised between $10 and $12 million for a new coach? Funny, I have been a member of the Mustang Club for 30 plus years and no one approached me about donating money for a new coach. What is also funny is that no one approached me for donating money to the Crum basketball center and the expanded all sports center behind Moody especially after the Morning News reported that the school was short on donated money to build the buildings. My gut feeling tells me two things about the last few years of Jim Copelands athletic department and the first 1-1/2 years of Jim Orsini's athletic department.
First, it appears a few of the mighty rich and/or the mighty powerful are running the show or being extremely catered to which could have an affect why there are no middle America people are knocking down SMU'S front door to buy football and basketball tickets.
Second, it also appears that SMU could be heading down the path of another cheating scandal as long as these few boosters are so deeply involved in the hiring process outside of an search committee.
Also, I found some political contributions:
