Mark Zuckerberg’s personal philanthropy and his company, Meta, have collectively donated hundreds of millions of dollars to more than 100 U.S. colleges and universities across the country, giving the CEO powerful potential leverage to influence the institutions, according to new data compiled by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) and The Real Facebook Oversight Board (RFOB).
The issue of Zuckerberg’s philanthropic gifts and their potential influence on universities came into sharp relief when leading online disinformation expert Joan Donovan accused Harvard University of pushing her out of a job after receiving a $500 million donation from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
