Former Walt Disney Co. CEO Michael Eisner has donated $1.75 million to Denison University to honor one of his favorite professors, the school said Friday.
Eisner is a 1964 graduate of the liberal arts university in central Ohio. He made the endowment gift from The Eisner Foundation to establish the Dominick Consolo Endowed Professorship.
Consolo, an emeritus professor of English, was an active faculty member at Denison from 1958 until his retirement in 1992. Eisner has said that he was one of the inspirations for Robin Williams' character in the movie "Dead Poets Society," according to the university.
In 2003, Cal State Northridge named its education college after Eisner after his foundation gave $7 million to the school.
Eisner stepped down as Disney's chief executive in October 2005. He now works as a venture capitalist and as host of a CNBC talk show, "Conversations with Michael Eisner."
