Chapman Trusts donate $5 million to TU

The gift established the Dean John Rogers Endowed Chair for the College of Law and will fund a major renovation of John Rogers Hall that will allow future facility upgrades.

“The Chapman Charitable Trusts have been a bedrock of support and a continual source of opportunity to TU for more than 50 years,” said TU President Steadman Upham. “They have provided essential funding for our programs, facilities and for an expanding family of faculty and scholarship endowments.”

The earnings generated by the newly announced endowment will ensure that the College of Law will be able to secure and support talented leadership by providing salary compensation for the sitting dean. The endowment also will support research and other professional activities.

Additionally, the gift will fund asbestos abatement in John Rogers Hall, which will allow the university to proceed with further facility upgrades that were previously not possible.
