Perelman family donation

The college was originally made possible by a $65 million gift from the Perelman Family Foundation, run by Debra '96 and Ronald Perelman.^[5] Prior to the removal of the Perelman name in 2021, it would have been the first residential college at Princeton to be named after Jewish people.^[6]

In June 2021, Princeton University removed the Perelman name from New College West after the Perelman Family Foundation ceased payments to the University under their gift agreement.^[7]
