<p>I would think the WSJ article on universities' perceived need for "pre-nups" when it comes to large philanthropic donations must have quite a lot to do with this news story covered by the NYT and MSNBC:</p>
<p>"Clash over donation to Princeton heads to court
Family of 1961 donors seeks to revoke gift in closely watched lawsuit"</p>
<p>"The children of a couple who in 1961 made one of the biggest donations in the history of academia to Princeton University say in a lawsuit closely watched by charities and conservative activists that the school is misusing the money and should give it back.</p>
<p>Lawyers for the Robertson family and the university were due in state Superior Court on Tuesday to start two days of legal arguments hashing out the parameters of a trial that is likely at least several months and maybe years away.</p>
<p>Among the seven legal motions to be argued are whether a judge or jury should decide the facts in a trial and whether Princeton should return more than $200 million the family claims was inappropriately used by the university...</p>
<p>While the lawsuit as a whole could reverberate throughout the nonprofit world, the arguments scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday are largely technical, delving into tax laws, complicated accounting formulas and the governance of the Princeton-controlled board that controls the Robertson Foundation and the relationship between that foundation and the university.</p>
<p>Princeton is seeking to be recognized as the sole beneficiary of the gift so the money could not be granted to other institutions."</p>
