Anonymous Donor Supporting Colleges Run By Women
A mystery is building around an anonymous donor who has given over seventy million dollars to colleges run by women. The donor is also sending in funds to ensure scholarships for women and minority students.
So far, according to Lisa W. Foderaro of The New York Times, the donor has sent large sums of money to several public universities across the country, each one run by a female president. Not only does the donor wish to remain anonymous to the public, but to their recipients as well: “No one on campus – not the president, not the public relations staff, not the chief fund-raiser – can know where the money came from,” Foderaro notes.
