Crain's Chicago Business (Oct. 17) -- Tom Siebel thinks his alma mater, the U. of I., needs a bigger, better place for students from all over campus to hang out and do cool stuff. The Chicago native is giving the school $25 million to build such a place, the Siebel Center for Design. It’s among the biggest individual gifts so far in a $2.25 billion, five-year Illinois fundraising campaign.
