$100 Million Anonymous Gift to UChicago

[hoya01]

Attracting the best and brightest students just got even tougher:


"The university will use the money -- the largest single donation given to an Illinois university -- to give full scholarships to about 800 lower-income students each academic year. The grants also will pay partial tuition for another 400 of the 4,400 undergraduate students."

Iwas reading an old Economist in the doctor's office yesterday and Georgetown was advertising an open position for a Director of the O'Neal Center for Health Law or something like that. Apparently we got a nice $10MM gift to start a joint offshoot of the Nursing/Med School and the Law Center.

Both the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois received 100 million gifts in the same week. Good stuff. Where are Georgetown's heavy hitters?
