GEFFEN GIVES $100 MILLION TO CREATE GEFFEN ACADEMY


“Media mogul [David] Geffen has been accused of a bit of each after two recent gifts, including $100 million to create the
Geffen Academy at UCLA to serve the children of faculty, among others. The gift- aimed in part at attracting
top talent to the college and its medical school, which is named for Geffen - has generated critical headlines
like this one in L.A. Weekly:  ‘Let's All Watch David Geffen Light His Money on Fire.’"
