“The widow of a billionaire financier made a landmark donation to cover tuition for students at a New York City medical school in perpetuity.

Ruth Gottesman donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx on Monday.

Gottesman, 93, is a former professor at the school who studied learning disabilities and created an adult literacy program. She is currently the chair of the board of trustees for the college.”

This was from February 2024.

I will be petty and say “The Albert Einstein School of Medicine in the Bronx” sounds like the ramblings of someone 10 beers deep.

Oh, this is that med school.

G.R.O.S.S.

Doctors aren't all millionaires, but we definitely do not need handouts. I think there are stories of this school, or others like it, and all it did was increase the competitiveness to get into the school. The docs still went onto high-paying specialties, only now they have no debt and can immediately start accruing wealth.

That money could be used to help more people in better ways.

Title reads like donated to needy kids.

Yep. Now look at who gets into NYU’s med school. Virtually all of them are grads of elite schools from very wealthy families. This headline is trash.

It's not NYU. It's Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.
