The school expected the fundraising push to take five years, but the gift from alumnus Lowell Milken helped take the effort over the top, university officials said. The success comes at a time when California’s public universities are struggling with significant cuts in state support.
“This critical campaign and transformative gift from Lowell Milken shows that our students, alumni and friends share the vision and values that define us as a great public law school, and their ongoing support will help us to overcome the often dour predictions prompted by the state and national budget crisis,” said Dean Rachel Moran.
