Weill Cornell Medical College in New York Citi

Today's Times has a lengthy, mostly positive article about Sandy Weill, the former CEO of Citigroup who has donated heavily to Cornell:

Over the last two years, Mr. Weill has watched Citi — a company he built brick by brick during the final act of a 50-year career — nearly fall apart. Although every taxpayer in the country has paid for Citi’s outsize mistakes, for Mr. Weill the bank’s myriad woes are a commentary on his life’s work.

“Sandy will forever be identified with Citigroup,” says Michael Armstrong, a Citi board member and a former chief of AT&T. “He put everything he had into its creation.”

Despite Citi's fall, Weill still lives "baronically," so it seems his stream of donations to Cornell will continue in the near future.
