Canada body-parts murder victim identified
NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A dispute between Princeton University and the heirs to a supermarket fortune is headed to trial following a set of rulings by a New Jersey judge.
Superior Court Judge Neil Shuster has laid ground rules for trying one of the largest lawsuits ever filed concerning how closely colleges must adhere to the original intent of their donors, The New York Times reported Friday.
At issue is whether Princeton followed the wishes of A&P supermarket heiress Marie Robertson whose donation of $35 million to Princeton in 1961 is now valued at $880 million.
Her heirs charge Princeton has not used the money as Robertson intended to prepare students to work for the federal government, especially in international affairs.
"Even if things stopped right now, this is a huge victory for donors everywhere," says Robertson family attorney Ronald H. Malone. "It shows that no matter how high and mighty a university might be, the law imposes on them a moral and legal obligation to use the money only for the purpose to which it was given."
