Princeton Settles Case With Donors' Descendants
Princeton University has agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a family charitable foundation over the university's alleged misuse of a $35 million donation.
Robertson Family Charities had alleged that Princeton did not follow the donors' original intent to use the money to educate graduate students for careers in government.
The lawsuit was one of the largest of a number of suits filed in recent years over just how much control donors can exercise over bequests.
