[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 to PP. They fact that the prestige defense squad is so easily triggered, insecure and desperate (like they can't find anything bad about the school, so they'll go on to say how bad the city of Chicago is) really is a great testament to the unstoppable rise in popularity and reputation of schools like Northwestern and UChicago. Thanks for the great advertising opportunity! [/quote]

Agreed. This easily could have been a thread of maybe 3 pages, tops, but this person (or persons) with their non-facts and zero substance-filled criticisms and stalker-ish behavior only serve to bring more eyeballs to the news. Keep at it!

Most of the $480 million donation is being funneled toward medical research, and some towards the economics department. Per Forbes:

•  The Ryan Family Digital Health Fund will focus on digital medicine technologies to improve human health. One part of this fund will support the development of an interactive digital application that assists parents in using sensor programs to measure neuromotor performance in infants. The second part will support a sustainable and accessible library of unique health data sets.
•  A new neuroscience institute will be established that will build on Northwestern's leading scholarship in that field.
•  The Ryan Family Catalyst Fund will support medical research by scholars with the potential to make important discoveries about human disease.
•  The existing Institute for Global Health will be endowed and renamed the Robert J. Havey, MD, Institute for Global Health in honor of Robert J. Havey, the institute’s deputy director and clinical professor of general internal medicine and geriatrics at the university.
•  The Ryan Family Center for Global Primary Care will be established within the Havey Institute.[/quote]
