Some University Philosophy Departments Seeing Big Donations

UCLA recently got a $20 million gift to support its philosophy department.

That came months after Johns Hopkins University’s philosophy department got a $75 million donation.

Mike Scutari with Inside Philanthropy joined The Show to talk about why the humanities are getting some of these major gifts.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
