The balance will be spent on recruiting, seminars, workshops, conferences and faculty research projects.
Claremont also plans to offer new courses, such as ethnic studies, within existing departments, a spokesman said.
San Francisco-based Irvine Foundation contributes up to $30 million annually to educational and social service philanthropies in California.
