Platonic University finds it hard to meet its expenses

Because Platonic University has had difficulty in meeting its expenses over the past three years, the governing body of the university must find new ways to increase revenues. The university council should consider following the example of Greene University, which recently renamed itself after a donor who had given it $100 million. If Platonic University were to communicate to its alumni and other wealthy people that it will rename either individual buildings or the entire university itself after the donors who give the most money, the amount of donations would undoubtedly increase.

Which of the following most weakens the argument?

A. The university is awaiting patents on several inventions that are going to be lapped up by the industry no sooner than the government issues the certificates.
B. The university holds vast tracts of land outside the city where leasing arable lands out to big farming companies earns good money.
C. Each building on campus is named after one or more distinguished alumnus of the university.
D. The alumni donate a handsome amount every year.
E. The university is eligible for grants from the federal governments.
