Yahoo Inc. co-founder Jerry Yang and his wife Akiko Yamazaki, will donate $75 million to Stanford University. Stanford said $50 million of the donation will be used to finance a new environmental studies center scheduled to be completed in December. And $5 million will help fund a 120,000-square-foot training center for doctors. The university has not decided how to spend the balance of the donation. The gift is the largest of several donations that Yang and Yamazaki, a director of the Wildlife Conservation Network in Los Altos, have made to their alma mater.
