Ruth Gottesman, the chairwoman of Einstein’s Board of Trustees, has donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine was formerly owned by Yeshiva University (YU) and trained thousands of Jewish doctors.
The gift is considered the largest in history made to a medical school in the United States.
Students will no longer have to pay tuition following the donation from the longtime professor.
The school will become permanently tuition free starting next year. Any students in their final year of medical school who already paid for the current semester will be fully reimbursed.
An unprecedented gift of unusual generosity. Free medical school tuition in perpetuity. Truly, the heart of America. Let's see the Jew haters try to protest this one. pic.twitter.com/oNgK4M3uKG

Many of the students are quite wealthy, they all will become wealthy. She should have given to only those in need.
Everyone's excited but I'll be the killjoy.
Short of laziness or incompetence (or moving to Israel), finishing medical school guarantees one a good income, enough to pay off any amount of student debt within a few years of graduating presuming one lives sensibly.
On the other hand, day school tuitions can ruin non-doctor families. A lack of Jewish education ruins Jewish lives. One wonders if there might have been more benefit directing the money towards that.
Really? One wonders?
now i know not to use an einstein graduate lol. giving them a free ride will kill their work ethic and breed incompetence and laziness...hunger drives people and breeds competition and excellence...all so she could get her name in the paper...what a disgrace to the medical sciences...she should have only given partial or merit based scholarships... stam azoi a main turnoff for young people to go to med school is because it is a ten year ride before you even make a dime: 4 years undergrad/premed 4 years med school, minimum two years interning, and if you want to specialize or be a surgeon, it can easily be another 2-3 years for a total of 15 years of school. outside the u.s. it is much shorter. now kol shkein a person in our system, where they'll be in their late 30's by the time they see any $$$
