Phil Knight Wants to Solve Poverty
2016-02-24 19:22:13| Footwear - Topix.net
Philip H. Knight, the co-founder and chairman of Nike Inc., said on Monday that he had pledged to give Stanford University $400 million to recruit graduate students around the globe to address society's most intractable problems, including poverty and climate change. The gift to the new Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program, which is modeled on the Rhodes scholarships, matches one of the largest individual donations ever to a university, the $400 million that John A. Paulson, the hedge fund tycoon, gave to Harvard last year to improve its engineering school.

Trucking stocks tumbled today after Knight Transportation cut its Q4 earnings guidance , citing excess capacity, a reduction in non-contract opportunities and an increase in driver pay - problems evident throughout the industry. Citi downgraded KNX to Neutral from Buy with a $25 price target today, and sees the risk of additional freight slowing as a possibility; although KNX's Q4 freight activity is similar to 2014 levels, slack capacity and less urgency from shippers is pulling volume out of lucrative seasonal trades, Citi says.
