Rutgers to Endow Chair Named for Gloria Steinem
Rutgers University is to announce on Monday that it is endowing a chair named for Gloria Steinem, a symbol of modern American feminism.
Reflecting Ms. Steinem’s long career as a journalist as well as a public intellectual, the chair will be in media, culture and feminist studies, a collaboration between several schools and institutes at the university.
The chair will be endowed by grants from the Ford, Knight, and Revson Foundations, as well as by individual gifts, including one from Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook and the author of “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” and one from Mort Zuckerman, the owner and publisher of The Daily News and U.S. News and World Report.
