Yale Daily News - Decision to bar donors’ names from colleges sets Yale apart: "he Corporation was in favor of expansion, Betts quickly offered, which raised the question: What would they be named?
Or, at least, would the University allow the lead donors for the colleges the chance to attach their names to them?
“We’re not going to,” he said.
The reporter pressed.
“What if someone approaches Yale with a $1 billion gift? What do you say: ‘No’?”
The assembled administrators laughed, but Betts got serious.
“The answer is no,” he declared. “We’re not going to do it.”"
