Indiana-Bloomington Receives $35 Million Donation

The soon-to-be branded Indiana University Michael Maurer School of Law in Bloomington recently received $35 million dollar donation from Michael Maurer. The gift, the largest in the law school’s history to come from a single donor, will fund an undetermined number of scholarships. Maurer’s gift brings the law school’s fund-raising during the capital campaign to $83 million. Last December, Lilly Endowment donated $25 million for faculty recruitment. Because both donations comes during IU’s $1 billion Matching the Promise fund-raising campaign, the university will match investment income from both gifts in perpetuity. Details. [JH]
