Netflix CEO And Wife Donate $120M To HBCUs - Santa Cruz
Philanthropists Reed Hastings and Patty Quillin of Santa Cruz will support hundreds of students over the next decade, CBS reported.
patch.comHere’s a quick update based on recent reporting:
- Patty Quillin, Reed Hastings’s wife, and Hastings themselves have been noted for philanthropy connected to historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), including notable gifts to Tougaloo College in Mississippi and earlier commitments to Spelman, Morehouse, and UNCF. These stories have appeared in outlets such as Yahoo/Style and various business coverage, highlighting their ongoing charitable work.[1][3][4]
- There have been recent interviews and profiles mentioning Hastings’s personal life and marriage in the context of his career and retirement, but there isn’t a single, definitive “latest news” item about Patty Quillin that dominates current coverage beyond philanthropy and public appearances tied to those efforts.[2]
If you’d like, I can search for more up-to-date sources or narrow to a specific region or date range to verify the very latest developments.
