Kagan: Harvard Law's $476 million dean - Politics - Supreme Court - msnbc.com: "WASHINGTON — One talent Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan displayed in her career climb could create unique ethics questions for her as a justice: the ability to persuade Harvard Law School alumni and other wealthy donors to give hundreds of millions of dollars, more than meeting a daunting fundraising goal that came with her job as dean.
The $476 million total Kagan reached for the 'Setting the Standard' campaign was a record not just for her university but for all law schools. Harvard Law sought $400 million to add professors, buildings, programs and financial aid, and whether Kagan could pull it off would help determine her success or failure as dean. She exceeded the goal, raising roughly $306 million from 2003-08, after her predecessor had pulled in $170 million."
