An alert EMUTalk.org reader sent me a couple of links about a “mystery donor” contributing to millions of dollars to U.S. colleges and universities: “Mystery philanthropist donates $75m to US universities” from the guardian.co.uk site, and “Colleges don’t dig for clues in mysterious donations” from freep.com. There’s also an article from last week’s New York Times, “Anonymous Donor Gives Millions to Colleges.”
Basically, someone or some group is anonymously donating millions of dollars to universities and colleges in the U.S., including Michigan State and Kalamazoo College. The donor(s) want to remain completely anonymous and they ask that at least some of the money goes to scholarships for female and minority students. And so far, all the schools that have received this money have had women as presidents.
So, I am wondering if EMU is hoping for and/or has received a call?
