Yahoo co-founder to give Stanford $75M
“Jerry Yang, co-founder of Yahoo Inc., and his wife will donate $75 million to Stanford University, according to reports Friday. The Associated Press reported that Stanford plans to spend $50 million of the donation on a new environmental studies center it hopes to finish by December, and $5 million on a 120,000-square-foot center for training doctors. It hasn’t decided yet how to spend the rest. Yang and his wife, Akiko Yamazaki, met in 1992 while studying at a Stanford program in Japan, then graduated from the university in 1990.”
