Judge: UW-Madison’s $15M donors can stay anonymous (AP)

This much is clear: He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-MadisonĂ¢??s communication arts program. He is making the gift with his wife through a family foundation. They have a son who recently graduated from the college.

Based on that publicly available information, Internet sleuths may be able to guess the identity of the donors who promised $15 million to build a music performance facility at the university. But a judge has decided that their names can stay secret for now, a decision praised by university fundraisers.
