Michigan State University is one of 13 colleges and universities across the country to
receive an anonymous gift over the past few weeks. MSU has received $10 million.
According to excerpts from the article:
Both MSU President Lou Anna Simon and Bob Groves, the vice president for university advancement, said they have no idea where the money came from.
They also said they're more than glad to have it.
"Ten million dollars is an extraordinary gift any way you slice it," Groves said.
And it's not an isolated occurrence. Rather, it's part of what is now a $68.5 million mystery, large anonymous donations given over the past several weeks to at least 13 colleges and universities around the country, all of them led by women.
In each instance, most of the money was earmarked for scholarships and financial aid, particularly for women and minorities.
In MSU's case, that's $7 million. The remaining $3 million can be used for whatever university officials deem appropriate.
