TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The outgoing president of the University of South Florida will be donating $23 million to the school.
Judy Genshaft announced at her retirement gala Saturday night that she is adding an addition $3 million to the $20 million she previously pledged. The original pledge will be used to fund much of a building for the honors college.

Genshaft is from a wealthy family that made its fortune in the meat packing industry.
