USC Is Raising Money So Fast, It Just Moved the Goalpost

The University of Southern California has nearly met its $6 billion fundraising goal, tracking 18 months ahead of schedule. Now it is asking for more money. USC President C.L. Max Nikias said the school will extend its campaign by three years, to 2021, and predicts it can raise another $700 million to $800 million a year in that time—a total of about $9 billion.
