Earlier this month, Purdue announced that it was naming its relaunched business school The Mitchell E. Daniels Jr. School of Business after former Purdue president Mitch Daniels who retired in December. The Daniels School will retain the Krannert name for its graduate programs. Bruce White was a Purdue alumni, founder and chairman of White Lodging, and a former member of the Purdue Board of Trustees. He died on January 19. “The White Family Foundation has long been a truly dedicated partner in helping Purdue achieve excellence at scale. The naming after Bruce White, one of the most prominent Boilermakers our university has ever known, is particularly meaningful to us,” Purdue President Mung Chiang says in a release. “This gift ensures Purdue will educate exceptional undergraduate business students who will create and grow competitive businesses in a technology-driven, free-market economy.”
Free-market econony must just freak you guys out.
