Wisconsin-Madison Get $20 Million to Promote the Humanities

The Humanities are not dead yet.  Inside Higher Ed is reporting today that the University of Wisconsin-Madison has received a $20 million gift, half of which has come from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, to establish additional programs in the humanities. 

This is great news.  We need more donors and foundations to step up to the plate to promote the humanities at other schools as well.
