Drexel Gets in on All This Perelman Philathropy

Comments
 

Apparently, this is the week for people named Perelman to make college giving officers super happy. Just days after Ronald Perelman donated $25 million to Penn for a new political science center at 36th and Chestnut, his father, Raymond, has donated $5 million to Drexel University for construction of a campus plaza. “Officials envision Perelman Plaza becoming the university’s primary outdoor social and event space. They plan to break ground this summer,” reports the Enquirer-Herald. “The area is currently a pedestrian mall that has been partially closed due to construction of a new building for Drexel’s business school.” Somewhere, Jeffrey Perelman is lurking waiting  to spring a huge donation on a Philadelphia institution of higher learning … unless he’s not.
