Robert Miller's article in DMN business section page 2D details gift to SMU. Dedman College gets $1 million to explore human rights topics, develop new student programs, bring human rights scholars to campus, and convene symposia and public programs. $1 million goes to the basketball program and soccer field renovation and $200 thousand will fund renovation and expansion of Westcott field.

No, but close. It is to find out why our rights to enjoy reasonably successful football and basketball programs on the Hilltop continue to be trampled upon...............
