[quote=Anonymous]https://news.umich.edu/30m-gift-to-establish-the-elizabeth-weiser-caswell-diabetes-institute-at-the-university-of-michigan/ The gift was announced June 15 and is for diabetes research. A gift of this size takes months to finalize; it was almost certainly already in motion before the pandemic began. I’m not saying that he couldn’t have tried to leverage the reopening decision in the final stages of closing the gift—e.g., “I’ll sign the papers by x date only if I’m confident about the university’s fall plans—but it’s highly unlikely that the gift was conceived, cultivated, and closed as part of some quid pro quo around reopening. All of that said, I don’t feel bad for Michigan. You take $30M from a guy with direct Trump ties in this environment, you can’t complain when people draw their own conclusions.[/quote]
