WHO…WHAT…WHERE…WHEN
UCLA Law Receives $5.5 Million Gift to Support Growth and Leadership UCLA School of Law has received a $5.5 million gift from philanthropist Charles R. “Chuck” Williams to support the leadership of the Williams Institute—the first and only law school initiative dedicated to the study of sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy—and to foster the institute’s growth in the next decade. “We are honored by the ongoing philanthropic investment of Chuck Williams," said Rachel F. Moran, dean of the law school. “With this generous gift, he continues to play a transformative role in helping the Williams Institute expand knowledge at the intersection of sexual orientation and gender identity law and policy.” Since its founding in 2001 with an inaugural $2.5 million gift from Williams—at that time the largest donation ever given to any academic institution in support of a gay and lesbian academic program, in any discipline—the institute has gained renown as an academic research center dedicated to conducting independent research on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy. To date, Williams has committed more than $15 million to help establish the institute as a preeminent source of research in this area, with relevance for judges, legislators, policymakers, media, and the public. Williams is the president of Williams and Associates.
Until 1985, he worked as a senior executive for Sperry Corp., where he held several positions, including vice president for strategic and business planning and vice president and general manager for worldwide operations. Most recently, he has taught business courses in policy and strategy, and he consults in this area. Williams is currently a board member of The UCLA Foundation and the UCLA School of Law board of advisors, as well as a member of the Gill Foundation’s OutGiving advisory committee. He has been recognized by various LGBT organizations and publications. Williams received a BA degree and an MBA degree from UCLA. UCLA School of Law, founded in 1949, is the youngest major law school in the nation. With approximately one hundred faculty and 1,100 students, the school pioneered clinical teaching, is a leader in interdisciplinary research and training, and is at the forefront of efforts to link research to its effects on society and the legal profession.
