"Momentum 2: The Breakthrough Campaign for the University of Miami" passed its $1.6 billion goal more than a year ahead of schedule — a considerable feat of fund raising under outgoing UM President Donna Shalala. The total of $1,618,034,779 raised to date for Momentum2 is from 137,890 donors.

Combined with $1.4 billion raised during the initial Momentum campaign completed in 2007 -- first time that a private university established in the 20th century had reached a billion-dollar fundraising goal -- the university has raised more than $3 billion during 14 years of leadership by Shalala, who is stepping down in June to head the Clinton Foundation. Julio Frenk, dean of faculty at Harvard’s school of public health and a former minister of health in his native Mexico, has been tapped as her replacement.

Maybe they can afford better coaching and facilities, now? Doubt even with all that money they will spend it on a stadium.

Sorry, cheap shot I know from an SU poster who sympathizes with how hard it is for privates to compete sometimes. But I couldn't resist and I had to get in there before the FSU and Clemson posters did.

Cheers,
Neil

1. Damn you.

2. It's not a cheap shot if it's true?

3. These UMiami fans hate Shalala when it suits their agenda, and love her when it suits their (other) agenda.

fair question ...
much of the money raised is earmarked for medicine ...
i.e. hospital purchase, biotech park, ambulatory center ...
hence, the hiring of Harvard's health dean ...
expressed wishes conflict with self interest ...
