UC Santa Barbara gets $50-million gift from Oracle chairman

The donation from Jeffrey and Judy Henley is the biggest in UC Santa Barbara's history. It will support energy efficiency research and engineering programs.

UC Santa Barbara, according to old stereotypes, may still conjure up the image of a lush campus by the beach, where students can squeeze in a few hours of surfing after class and live in a nearby neighborhood that is one of the nation's best-known party zones. But in reality, UC Santa Barbara over the last three decades increasingly has become a center of scientific research, and its move in that direction was strengthened Saturday with the announcement of a $50-million private donation to energy efficiency research and engineering programs.
