Colleges Face Prickly Dilemma When Donors or Their Heirs Renege on Promised Gifts.
Strosnider, Kim
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n42 pA35-A36 Jun 26 1998

Ordinarily, institutions avoid such public battles through careful gift planning or quiet settlement of disputes. However, some feel such cases will multiply because donors and heirs are becoming more prone to litigation. (MSE)
