My guess is that donors got mad after donating large gifts that were intended to provide long term sources of income only to find that they were immediately sold and a law was passed to control that. You have to remember that these endowments are designed to appeal to people's egos and its easier to sell if they are making a gift that will last forever rather than a gift that is spent tomorrow to pay the janitor.
