More than $100K raised for family of UND professor who died unexpectedly
Tao Yu, an assistant professor of chemistry, died on June 13, after officers from the Grand Forks Police Department responded to a call for service at his residence at the 400 block of Burdick Court. The investigation is still ongoing and police have not received a death report. On June 19, Yu’s colleagues began raising money online to cover funeral expenses, as well as bring his parents to Grand Forks from their home in China. As of June 22, funds totaled more than $102,000, vastly surpassing the goal of $50,000.
