MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Efforts to build a public health school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are expected to get a boost tomorrow when businessman Joseph Zilber is scheduled to announce a 10 million dollar donation.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says the gift will help change the debate from whether the school should be built to when it will be built.
UW System regents voted last December to move forward with the project at the mayor's request. He has described it as an important step in improving the health of the city's residents.
The 10 million dollar gift is part of 50 million that Zilber committed to Milwaukee causes last month.
The real estate developer has already announced a 30 million dollar donation to the Marquette University Law School and one million to hospice programs and Boys and Girls Clubs.
