"The donation — the largest on record in the history of American theater — makes the school the only institution of its kind to eliminate tuition for all degree and certificate students, removing financial barriers to access," the school said in a statement on Wednesday.The Yale School of Drama will now be known as the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University.
So, when they approached me with this opportunity, I knew Yale was the right place to begin to change the way we think about funding arts education," Geffen said in a statement Wednesday."Removing the tuition barrier will allow an even greater diversity of talented people to develop and hone their skills in front of, on, and behind Yale's stages."Read MoreThis isn't the first time that Geffen has giving away a good chunk of his money to the arts.

'Because the world needs more actors!'
Now that's a donation.
While the hungry still go hungry.
Way to make an impact with all your money. More actors…that’s what the world needs.

Yeah but I imagine spots will be limited so it will still be wealthy, connected people who end up there with the exception of a few token 'peasants' to make it appear legit.
Because we need more Hollywood types beholden to$. Where are the artists?
He on the list.
Wait. $150million is enough for *all students for all time* to be tuition free at a Yale school? Soo if we tax all the billionaires in the US an extra %1 how many schools can we have go tuition free for current and into the future?
There are kids with lower education who could use this tuition money to get into any school that available for them, not a incredible high IQ and legacy school. Just my opinion thought.
$150,000,000 towards critical race theory tsk tsk
To think how the rest of these millionaires could be doing this across the country. 🤔
That should cover books for at least 2 years. Probably get about 14 cents when you sell them all back at the end of the year. Talk about depreciation.
If only all Industries would follow this lead. They would definitely benefit on the backend with greater potential for well educated and interesting new life-street smart/potential employees to hire. Not just kids born into wealth and abundance.
