A Florida donor who promised $95.7 million over 30 years to the University of Colorado's dental school has reneged, jeopardizing tuition rates and the school's ability to pay for its new building.
Dr. Gasper Lazzara paid $3 million in 2003 so CU could build a new dental school named after him at the Fitzsimons campus in Aurora.
He also promised an annual $1.25 million to help the school make payments on the building, plus $500,000 to cover the costs for 12 students in the orthodontics-residency program."
