Sorry, should have posted excerpts. For those who don't subscribe:
"The donor is Stephen M. Ross, the chairman of the Related Companies, which built the $1.7 billion Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle. Mr. Ross is now working to bring the Olympics to New York in 2012.

Mr. Ross, a native of Detroit and a Michigan graduate, said he gave the money to establish what he hoped would become the nation's "best business school," anchored by an "iconic, modern building" on Michigan's campus. The university described the gift as the largest ever given to a business school, giving ample reason for the school to bear Mr. Ross's name.

"Naming is in perpetuity, so you only get to do this once," said Robert J. Dolan, dean of the business school. "That's why it's such a large gift." The official announcement of the gift is scheduled for Thursday.
