UCLA to Donald Sterling: We Don't Want Your Money!
UCLA to Sterling We Don't Want Your Money!
UCLA is saying thanks but no thanks to Donald Sterling's $3 million pledge ... saying essentially its dirty money and they don't want it.
Sterling gifted $3 mil to the school, with an initial check for $425,000. The money was earmarked for kidney research.
And get this. The ad (above) that was placed in Sunday's L.A. Times is a "thank you" from UCLA to Donald and Shelly Sterling. UCLA claims the ad was placed by Donald Sterling, NOT the university.
We just got off the phone with a rep for the L.A.'s Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance, who says they got $30K from Sterling over the last 3 years ... and they're keeping it -- because the money's already been spent on programs to help fight racism. But ... they won't accept any money in the future.
