A、Chinese graduate’s record-setting $ 8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has stirred wide debate at home. While some say it’s up to Zhang Lei to do as he likes, others question why he didn’t donate to his alma mater inBeijing.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while a portion will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale’s new Jackson Institute of GlobalAffairs, as well as fund a variety ofChina-related activities at the university.
