城堡投资创始人格里芬向卡内基梅隆大学捐资30亿美元 创全美高教纪录Citadel Founder Ken Griffin Pledges Record $3 Billion to Carnegie Mellon
城堡投资（Citadel）创始人兼首席执行官肯·格里芬于2026年9月30日宣布，向卡内基梅隆大学捐资30亿美元。根据校方声明，这是高等教育历史上规模最大的个人单笔捐赠。按照出资规划，其中20亿美元将用于在佛罗里达州迈阿密温伍德社区建立占地35英亩的新校区，预计于2028年开学并可容纳超过3500名本科生与研究生；另外10亿美元将投入卡内基梅隆大学位于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的本部校区。作为该项捐赠的一部分，该校计算机科学学院将更名为肯尼斯·C·格里芬计算机科学学院，格里芬本人也将加入该校董事会。 卡内基梅隆大学表示，迈阿密新校区将探索新型高等教育办学模式，打破传统学术专业划分，转而围绕气候适应力、国家安全与战略能力、能源以及人类健康等重大社会挑战组织教学与科研。这笔捐资同时延续了格里芬近年来将其商业运营与慈善投入持续向南佛罗里达州倾斜的趋势。格里芬在2022年将城堡投资总部从芝加哥迁往迈阿密后，已先后向当地多所医疗与教育机构提供了数千万美元的大额捐助，并计划进一步扩大在佛罗里达州的业务布局。
Citadel founder and Chief Executive Officer Ken Griffin announced on September 30, 2026, a record $3 billion commitment to Carnegie Mellon University, marking the largest individual donation in higher education history according to the university. Under the funding arrangement, $2 billion is designated to establish a new 35-acre campus in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, scheduled to begin enrolling students in 2028 and serve more than 3,500 undergraduate and graduate students. The remaining $1 billion will support Carnegie Mellon's main campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As part of the gift, the university's School of Computer Science will be renamed the Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science, and Griffin will join the university's board of trustees. Carnegie Mellon announced that the planned Miami location will introduce a challenge-driven educational structure, replacing traditional academic majors with programs centered around societal challenges, including climate resilience, national security, energy, and human health. The multi-billion-dollar gift extends Griffin's ongoing relocation of his commercial and philanthropic footprint to South Florida, which began when Citadel moved its global headquarters from Chicago to Miami in 2022 and follows a series of multi-million-dollar contributions to regional healthcare systems and education networks.
01创纪录捐赠与资金分配明细Record-Setting Pledge and Fund Allocation
格里芬此次做出的30亿美元捐助承诺，超越了此前由耐克联合创始人菲尔·奈特夫妇于2025年8月向俄勒冈健康与科学大学捐赠的20亿美元纪录，成为高等教育界已知规模最大的一笔个人单笔捐款。彭博社评估显示格里芬当前个人净资产约为575亿美元。在此次捐资前，格里芬此前最大单笔教育捐赠为2023年向其母校哈佛大学提供的3亿美元，以及2017年向芝加哥大学捐赠的1.25亿美元。
Griffin's $3 billion commitment surpasses the previous higher education benchmark set in August 2025, when Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife Penny pledged $2 billion to Oregon Health & Science University. The hedge fund executive, whose net worth is estimated at $57.5 billion by Bloomberg, previously directed his largest academic contributions to his alma mater Harvard University with a $300 million gift in 2023 and the University of Chicago with a $125 million donation in 2017.
在30亿美元资金的具体分配中，20亿美元将直接用于在迈阿密筹建全新校区，另外10亿美元则用于支持卡内基梅隆大学位于匹兹堡的原本部校区建设与发展。作为资金注入及战略合作的组成部分，卡内基梅隆大学计算机科学学院将正式更名为肯尼斯·C·格里芬计算机科学学院，格里芬本人亦将进入卡内基梅隆大学董事会任职，参与校务治理与战略规划。
The financial terms specify that $2 billion of the total pledge will directly fund the establishment of the new Miami campus, while $1 billion is designated to bolster Carnegie Mellon's founding campus in Pittsburgh. As part of the gift, the university's School of Computer Science will carry Griffin's name as the Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science, and Griffin will take a seat on Carnegie Mellon's board of trustees to participate in institutional governance.
02卡内基梅隆大学迈阿密校区规划与办学模式创新Miami Campus Blueprint and Challenge-Driven Education Model
按照项目规划，卡内基梅隆大学迈阿密校区选址于以艺术氛围闻名的温伍德社区，占地面积达35英亩。校区工程建设定于2027年动工，预计在2028年正式开始招收学生。待校园整体工程竣工后，该校区将能够支持并容纳超过3500名本科生、硕士研究生及博士研究生开展学习与学术研究。
Under the project blueprint, Carnegie Mellon University's Miami campus will be situated across 35 acres in the Wynwood neighborhood, an area recognized for its prominent arts scene. Construction work on the site is slated to commence in 2027, with the university expecting to begin student enrollment in 2028. Following full completion, the facilities are designed to support more than 3,500 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree students.
在学术架构设计上，卡内基梅隆大学迈阿密校区将推行以解决重大现实问题为导向的办学模式，不再沿用传统学术专业划分机制。校方新闻稿指出，该校区的教学与科研活动将整合聚焦于四大核心挑战领域，包括人类健康与生物发现、国家安全与战略能力、能源与气候适应力，以及先进制造与工业转型。
The academic design of the Miami location will introduce a challenge-oriented educational structure rather than adhering to conventional academic departments or majors. According to university releases, learning and scientific inquiry will be organized around four primary societal challenges: human health and biological discovery, national security and strategic capabilities, energy and climate resilience, and advanced manufacturing and industrial transformation.
03格里芬重仓佛罗里达的战略与慈善布局Griffin's Strategic and Philanthropic Pivot to Florida
在将商业重心转移至南佛罗里达之前，格里芬曾在芝加哥运营城堡投资长达三十年。2022年，因对芝加哥当地犯罪问题的担忧，格里芬将公司全球总部迁至迈阿密，并在致员工信中表示佛罗里达州具备更优越的企业营商环境。随后，因纽约市市长佐兰·马姆达尼针对富豪第二套住房推出房产税政策并公开提及格里芬价值2.38亿美元的顶层公寓，格里芬在2026年表示决定减少纽约投资，进一步扩大迈阿密办公楼的建设规划。
Before relocating his business focus to South Florida, Griffin operated Citadel in Chicago for three decades. In 2022, citing concerns regarding local crime rates in Chicago, he moved the firm's global headquarters to Miami and told staff in an internal letter that Florida offered a superior corporate environment. Griffin later moved to redirect resources away from his New York operations and expanded his office development plans in Miami in 2026 following a dispute with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over proposed pied-à-terre taxes targeting wealthy residents' secondary homes.
伴随商业版图重构，格里芬在过去四年中成为南佛罗里达州的主要慈善捐赠者。公开记录显示，格里芬已分别向迈阿密大学癌症中心、浸信会健康基金会神经科学研究所，以及资助特许学校网络拓展至迈阿密的成功学院各捐赠5000万美元。格里芬公开赞赏佛罗里达州的低税率政策与生活质量，并称该州是一个拥抱未来且经济持续繁荣的地区。
Alongside his corporate relocations, Griffin has established a substantial philanthropic presence across South Florida over the past four years. Financial records indicate that he directed three separate $50 million contributions to the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baptist Health Foundation's neuroscience institute, and the Success Academy charter school network to support its regional expansion. Griffin has publicly praised Florida's business regulations, lower tax framework, and economic environment as factors supporting his long-term regional investments.

04高等教育变革诉求与对顶尖高校治理的立场Views on Higher Education Reform and University Governance
格里芬向卡内基梅隆大学提供巨额资助前，曾对美国多所顶尖学府的领导层与管理方式表达过公开批评。在2024年接受CNBC采访时，格里芬表示因不满哈佛大学应对校园反犹主义问题的方式，已暂停向该母校提供进一步捐款，并质疑传统精英高校的培养方向是否偏离了为政界和产业界输送实干领袖的初衷。
Griffin's multi-billion-dollar commitment to Carnegie Mellon follows his sharp public criticisms of leadership at traditional elite institutions. In a 2024 interview with CNBC, the hedge fund executive announced that he had halted donations to his alma mater, Harvard University, citing dissatisfaction with how administrators addressed antisemitism across campus, while questioning whether top universities were adequately preparing graduates to lead major corporations and public institutions.
卡内基梅隆大学校长法纳姆·贾哈尼安在一份声明中表示，人工智能技术构成了当代决定性的智力发展变革，这要求高校必须重新审视培养学生、开展学术研究以及与外部合作的既有路径。校方表示，此次迈阿密新校区的教学模式探索旨在应对技术变革挑战，并为全美经济与技术发展培养具备创新与实践能力的人才。
Carnegie Mellon University President Farnam Jahanian said in a statement that the emergence of artificial intelligence represents a defining intellectual development that requires institutions to rethink how they teach students, conduct research, and structure external partnerships. University leaders stated that establishing the challenge-oriented Miami campus reflects an effort to adapt higher education to rapid technological transformation and provide talent capable of advancing national economic and technological capabilities.
