Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is now tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a
former professor.

Gottesman, whose late husband was an early investor with Warren
Buffett, has made it a condition of the gift that the college NOT
change its name--an unusual requirement in a world where much smaller
gifts often come with the requirement that the colleges be named after
the donor.

Most students at the Einstein College of Medicine graduate with
$200,000 in debt; they will now be free of that burden.

Cripes, 200k is a lot of student debt. What a true philanthropist.
Hopefully the admin team gets nothing - they're usually the first ones
to scoop up the gifts, leaving just a percentage for the students.
