Barkley told interim president Bobbie Knight about the donation on Wednesday, news outlets reported.

Knight was named interim president last July and is the first woman to lead the HBCU.
Knight said Barkley’s contribution is the largest individual gift the college has received in its 122-year history. It will launch a comprehensive campaign to raise $100 million for the institution, Knight said.
