A Florida donor in a dispute with the University of Colorado over a $95.7 million commitment to the dental school and its students now says he never promised that much money.
'I'm not stroking a check for $95 million over 30 years,' Dr. Gasper Lazzara said Tuesday. 'They put that out as a press release without me knowing.'
CU announced three years ago that Lazzara's gift would jump-start an orthodontics program and pay for a high-tech dental school at the Fitzsimons campus in Aurora."
