Carnegie Mellon wins record $3 billion donation to university
Carnegie Mellon University will build a new campus in Miami focused on solving society’s greatest challenges, funded by a historic $3 billion gift from entrepreneur Ken Griffin.
The donation, believed to be the largest ever made by an individual to a university, comes at a time when higher education is under attack on many fronts. But private donors have recently made large donations, including $1 billion from Phil and Penny Knight to the University of Oregon last week.
