Mystery donor gives $74.5 million

-

NEW YORK (AP) – A mystery donor has given millions to at least 14 colleges run by women.

Hunter College said it received $5 million in the fall and realized only recently that more than a dozen other colleges nationwide had received similar donations.

Hunter College president Jennifer Raab says the money “couldn’t have come at a better time.”

The City University of New York says the donor earmarked $4 million for scholarships. The school will use the rest to update its library and give students more group study space.

The gift is Hunter College’s largest-ever donation.

At least 13 other schools with women presidents have received anonymous donations ranging from $1 million to $10 million in the last two months. The gifts total at least $74.5 million so far.
