When Swells Collide:
Welfare Queen Kenneth Cribb And Christine ODonnell

By Dan Riehl

Just for the record and for people keeping score, since they are willing to put out anything and everything about Christine O'Donnell to damage her reputation, the reason McCormack includes this disclosure is because behind the scenes people know it is Ken Cribb at ISI pushing this crap.
*Disclosure: I had a 2006 summer internship at National Review and a 2007-2008 writing fellowship at The Weekly Standard that were funded by the Collegiate Network, a program administered by ISI. To the best of my recollection, I've only spoken to one person named in O'Donnell's lawsuit, Kenneth Cribb, only once in my life, back in 2005. I have not spoken to any current or former ISI/CN employees in months and did not obtain any information in this report from current or former ISI/CN employees.
Just so we know what kind of guardian of conservativism Cribb, who would profess to be a gatekeeper of Washington by destroying a young woman over her finances and an old lawsuit, is, he's a Beltway welfare queen, the kind who rode Reagan to Washington and has been chowing down on donor money out of proportion to the private sector ever since all for charity, of course. This is the decrepit and dying conservative establishment we have to overthrow to take back Washington, again. But, don't worry, they've all gotten rich off conservative donors over the years, so I expect they'll be just fine. At least they won't have to try to make it in the private sector like most of us. I doubt many of them ever could.
CEO Ken Cribb's actual salary is $600,000 or so, as he also serves as president of the Collegiate Network, which is basically just a unit within the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. The organizations together have about an $11 million budget. So Cribb makes about 5.5% of the total budget. In comparison, the CEO of Dupont, a Fortune 500 company, makes only twice Cribb's salary.
A statement released by ISI Chairman Alfred Regnery and Trustee Edwin Meese indicates that a recent Chronicle of Higher Education article resulted in an inaccurate picture of the compensation of ISI president T. Kenneth Cribb, Jr. . . . ISIs Board annually sets Mr. Cribbs compensation at levels commensurate with ISIs growth and comparable to salaries at peer institutions. The salary levels mentioned in the Chronicle story were awarded to Mr. Cribb following years of programmatic and financial growth in a vibrant economy, well before the economic downturn in the last quarter of 2008 (contrary to the inaccurate timeline in the Chronicle article). When that downturn materialized, Mr. Cribb voluntarily took deep cuts in late 2008 and early 2009 that dramatically reduced his total compensation. For a complete copy of the full statement, please contact dmills@isi.org.
From 2006:
I asked ISI for a copy of the test, hoping to get an easy column and maybe show it off to friends. But they said "since the test will be administered annually, ISI would like to protect the integrity of the test." If they can't come up with new questions about the Revolutionary War, Reconstruction, the Bill of Rights, the Monroe Doctrine, and the New Deal every year, then we really do have a crisis. I looked into ISI a little. The nonprofit organization (motto: "Educating for Liberty"was founded in 1953. The president, T. Kenneth Cribb, made $425,000 last year. Consultant Lt. Gen. Josiah Bunting, a former adviser to President Ronald Reagan, made $146,500. ISI doesn't tell you this either. I had to find it on its tax form. Other board members include notable conservatives from The New Criterion, The Wall Street Journal editorial page staff, the Hoover Institution, and the military.

Mille grazi, starroute! I had no idea about the little feller. Such a warmonger for an "academic." And a son of Dixie, to boot!
