A local alumnus and his wife are giving the University of California at Los Angeles $100 million to strengthen (and rename) its School of Public Affairs and proceed with a hotel and conference center that some faculty oppose, the Los Angeles Times reported. A news release from the public affairs school said it would be renamed the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin School of Public Affairs, and said its $50 million share would be used mostly to build endowments to provide graduate student fellowships, faculty teaching and research, and civic engagement. The Times story said the other funds would help UCLA build a new facility to replace its current faculty club, and that the project is being challenged as unnecessary and risky at a time of financial strain.
