Western Michigan University announced this morning that they have received a $100-million donation for their new medical school.
According to The Detroit Free Press this is the seventh-largest donation ever given to a public university in the United States and the 15th largest ever given to a private or public university in the United States.
The donors of the gift are remaining anonymous, but it will be used to start the Kalamazoo-based university’s new medical school, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2013 or 2014.
