George Soros donated $500 million to Bard College last week, building on previous donations to the school with what college officials said was the largest single gift ever made to an American institution of higher education.
“This is the most historic moment since the college’s founding in 1860,” said Bard College President Leon Botstein in a statement.
Soros, a Jewish investor and major philanthropist to liberal causes, donated $60 million to Bard in 2011 and $100 million last July through his Open Societies Foundation. Bard is a founding member of the Open Society University Network, a Soros initiative created in partnership with the Central European University in Hungary.
