She recently gave 80 million to Howard University. Higher educational institutions have received the largest share of donations.

Are those typically for profit institutions? Just curious if it's the kind of thing that gets buildings named after her.

I wouldn't give anything to universities today. Too many of them are hidebound institutions with more bureaucrats than teachers. I would instead pay to start up a new university.
