Huge gift from Dr. Genshaft on her way out. This may be the second largest single donation to the university behind the Muma's $25mm gift a few years back.

Family owned a very successful meat packing plant. Plus she made over $1mm a year for herself at USF, not many expenses as housing , cars ect was paid for by the University.  

She is "not liked" by some as she didn't commit financially to athletics.  In fact rumor has it that she would not allow some major donors to donate to athletics.

She excelled in academics at the cost of running an inadequately funded athletic department.

I find that very hard to believe.

I'm guessing if there's any truth to that, it may be that she persuaded major donors to give to Academics instead of Athletics ...

Dr Genshaft is awesome.  Not Betty Castor awesome; but if the lady wants to give $20MM to my University.  I'll be damned if I question her motives.  Good for her.  Thank you, Dr Genshaft.

Apologies, I'm reading the last few posts on this and reacting to some of the more sarcastic posts...  Anything other than a...  thank you, Dr Genshaft...  Seems inappropriate.  

As a recent return poster, I may be misunderstanding our local memes / customs.
