Albert Einstein College of Medicine to offer free tuition after billion-dollar gift

Not distance learning, but..

Students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York will receive free tuition after a $1 billion dollar donation from a former faculty member.

Dr. Ruth Gottesman, 93, who spent 55 years as the chair of the school’s board, made the historic donation in the name of her late husband, David “Sandy” Gottesman, who was an early investor of Berkshire Hathaway and a longtime friend of Berkshire’s famed CEO Warren Buffett.

Great hospital in general, it is in my neighborhood in the Bronx New York. I am happy to see they are willing to give back to the community as well.

 

Thus subsidizing the inevitably affluent. 'Twas ever thus.
