UNLV with the Engelstad Foundation have had desired interactions since 2002 when the Foundation gave a significant donation of up to $12.5 million to establish the Engelstad Scholars program at the university. However, their relationship began to deteriorate as the Engelstad Foundation felt that UNLV was not utilizing the funds in the way they had intended.

This came to a head when the Foundation requested the return of $2.5 million from UNLV due to what they perceived as mismanagement of the funds. After a lengthy negotiation process, the two parties were unable to come to an agreement on the return of the funds, and the Engelstad Foundation decided to withhold future donations to UNLV.

This has caused concern among students and faculty at UNLV, who rely on donations from the Engelstad Foundation to support various programs at the university. Some fear that the strained relationship between the two organizations may have long-term ramifications for UNLV’s ability to secure funding for important initiatives.

Both UNLV and the Engelstad Foundation have expressed a desire to find a resolution to their dispute and move forward in a positive manner. However, for now, the future of their partnership remains uncertain.
