U. of Oklahoma Board Approves $50-Million Gift Plan

April 1, 2008, 1:18 pm

The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents has approved a plan to use a $50-million gift from the George Kaiser Family Foundation to establish the School of Community Medicine for the University of Oklahoma at Tulsa, reports the Norman Transcript, in Oklahoma.

The gift from the Kaiser foundation, in Tulsa, is the largest in the university’s history, reports the Associated Press. The new School of Community Medicine will focus on improving the health of Oklahomans, particularly vulnerable populations in rural and urban areas.

In addition to establishing the School of Medicine, the gift will be used to pay for 35 endowed chairs in community medicine, a financial-aid program for students, and expanded fund-raising efforts for the school, among other items.
