<p>From the LA Times---Couple to give record $200-million gift to USC:</p>
<p>"The unrestricted donation from alumnus David Dornsife, the chairman of a large steel fabricating company, and his wife, Dana, will go to the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, which will be named for the couple."</p>
<p>Mr. Dornsife was a business major at USC by the way--shocking, that donation didn't go to the B-school. </p>
<p>University</a> of Southern California: Couple to give record $200-million gift to USC - latimes.com</p>
<p>From the LA Times article:
“In a telephone interview from their home in Danville in Northern California, the Dornsifes recalled how they had attended Nikias’ inauguration in October and heard references to several USC schools that have been named for donors, including the Viterbi School of Engineering. The couple, who have made major donations to neuroscience research at the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, began discussing how that school lacked a donor name. Campus officials then encouraged a naming donation.”</p>
<p>The naming rights to the USC business school were already sold, so what was left? The CAS, of course, unless he wanted to slap his name on the pharmacy school.</p>
<p>Apparently, the naming rights to everything are up for sale. USC now has 12 named schools.</p>
<p>You contributed nothing except donating 200 million to the school just because all the other schools to put your name on were taken. Awesome…</p>
<p>so a BUSINESS major contributed money to the liberal arts school not because he likes them or finds them important, but because it was the only one not named…</p>
<p>All this shows is that no liberal arts majors came up with enough cash to do it themselves or none of them found donating money to the liberal arts program important.</p>
