The multibillion-dollar contribution includes $2 billion dedicated to establishing a brand new campus in Miami, Florida, designed to focus on societal challenges. An additional $1 billion is slated for the university's main Pittsburgh campus, with roughly half of that portion designated for the School of Computer Science. Griffin will also become a member of the board of trustees.Why it mattersThis
