DuPont to Donate $11 Million to Law Schools

DuPont Co. will pay $2.5 million to each of Georgia’s law schools to settle charges it withheld evidence in a 1993 civil case. The case involved charges that the Wilmington, Del., chemical giant withheld soil samples in a suit brought in Georgia by a group of nurseries. The $11 million, which includes $1 million to fund an annual symposium, will be used to set up professorial chairs on professional ethics. The schools are University of Georgia, Emory University, Georgia State University and Mercer University.(Associated Press)
