    a while back when i was a animal physio class a university, the profess told how he knew someone about to retire/Will but he wanted to donate it to STANFORD on the sole purpose of it being used as a research station in some island/country. the guy somehow heard the stanford lawyers said they were going to sell it or rent it out instead right behind his back. he gave it to Berkley university instead to be used for science.

    the moral of the story make sure you have something in place so that the land/property being donated is used properly by a lawyer or a trust org.

      Universities are a business and have the morals of your generic street thug. Why anyone would consider donating anything to them is a mystery.
