PAUL SMITH’S COLLEGE
“Joan Weill, the wife of billionaire former Citigroup CEO Sanford Weill . . . .
offered $20 million to Paul Smith's
College in New York's Adirondacks - but only if the small
college changed its name to Joan Weill – Paul Smith’s College.
“A court eventually ruled the
bequest that established the college barred the name
change. Weill chose not to give the $20 million.
“Alumni took
to Facebook to excoriate the proposal, underscoring the role
social media can play in amplifying controversies “
Associated Press. Michael Hill, “The Rich Give, and Get Grief,”
printed in the Bloomsburg (PA) Press-Enterprise, pp: 25 and 28, January 27,
2016.
