Jarndyce v. Jarndyce Teeny bit of legal action coming up in the endless litigation between Princeton University and the heirs of some rich people who intended their humongous gift years ago to that university to support only students intending to go into government work: ...William Robertson maintains his parents, Charles and Marie Robertson, heirs to the A&P grocery fortune, gave $35 million in stock to Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs expressly to train to students to work for the U.S. government. He claims Princeton hasn't lived up to its end of the deal, and he wants to be able to spend the foundation's money elsewhere for its intended purpose. The precise legal action isn't important, but the decision will finally put one side at a clear advantage. |
