Mason Receives $30 Million in Gifts, Renames School of Law After Justice Antonin Scalia...The gift includes $20 million that came to George Mason through a donor who approached Leonard A. Leo of the Federalist Society, a personal friend of the late Justice Scalia and his family. The anonymous donor asked that the university name the law school in honor of the Justice. "The Scalia family is pleased to see George Mason name its law school after the Justice, helping to memorialize his commitment to a legal education that is grounded in academic freedom and a recognition of the practice of law as an honorable and intellectually rigorous craft, said Leo.
The gift also includes a $10 million grant from the Charles Koch Foundation, which supports hundreds of colleges and universities across the country that pursue scholarship related to societal well-being and free societies.

On the other hand, think of the future lawyers that will avoid it because of the name.

Your supposed to say, "Right wing assholes paid to rename law school after Scalia" then we're supposed to reply, "They named it ASSHOLE?" Actually everyone can make up their own choice.
