$20 million donation from Hank Greenberg's Starr Foundation is blood money.

[no_hypocrisy]

That money came from AIG, from our tax dollars, and from unscrupilous business practices. Having nearly ruined the economies of this country and the world, donating a chunk of the ill-gotten profits doesn't exonerate Greenberg.

New York Law School has received a $20 million gift from The Starr Foundation for its Breaking New Ground. Again. capital campaign. The gift—the largest ever received by the Law School and among the top 20 gifts ever given to any law school—will be used to support student scholarships and programs.
