TL;DR

Citadel hedge fund CEO and Harvard alumnus Ken Griffin has donated a $300 million unrestricted gift to Harvard University, which will rename its Graduate School of Arts and Science to honor Griffin's lifetime donations. This is one of multiple million-dollar donations Griffin has given the university since he graduated in 1989, adding up to more than $500 million in total. The gift will support excellence in teaching, graduate education, and research across the disciplines. Harvard's leaders have full discretion over how to use the $300 million within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
