ADDITIONAL NEWS NOT IN TODAY’S UPDATE
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A foundation created by the former board chairman at Roger Williams University has announced $1.63 million in gifts.
The Papitto Foundation, created by Ralph R. Papitto in 1986, will give $1.3 million to The Miriam Hospital in Providence to modernize the hospital’s heart surgery program.
It also will give $300,000 to St. Mary Academy-Bay View, an all-girls Catholic prep school.
The remaining $30,000 will go to a memorial fund established by the Rhode Island Foundation.
Papitto resigned from the Roger Williams board last summer after admitting to using a racial slur at a board meeting. He apologized and his name was taken off the university’s law school, the only law school in Rhode Island.
