Haslams Invest $130M in UT

Dee and Jimmy Haslam just gave the University of Tennessee a historic $130 million — the largest single gift in UT history — to transform education and elevate the entire campus. $100 million fuels the Haslam College of Business with top faculty, scholarships, and student support, while $30 million boosts other schools to attract leading scholars. Chancellor Donde Plowman’s “Next Level” vision just got a massive boost. The Haslams, proud UT alumni and media/sports moguls, are betting big on Tennessee’s future — and $50 million is reserved to match additional donations, potentially doubling the impact to $180 million. This isn’t just a gift — it’s a blueprint for academic excellence, student success, and long-term state growth. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
