        More like they don’t want the wider public to know it was them that donated. Some folks that are extremely wealthy go to great lengths to keep their names out of people’s minds and stay out of the public eye as a matter of personal security.

      The university knows who’s paying its bills and has agreed to keep it a secret.

      A truly anonymous donation should be double-blind to the donor AND recipient. If you don’t want credit, don’t expect influence either.
