Virginia – Proposal to rename law school for Scalia discussed by State Council

A proposal has been made to rename George Mason University’s law school after late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. Earlier this year, the school received a $10 million donation form the Charles Koch Foundation, who has largely been a supporter of conservative and libertarian causes. Around the same time, another anonymous donor gave $20 million to the law school, but this time with the stipulation that the school is renamed. While some legislators and the faculty Senate are concerned about the deal, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia discussed the proposal Monday.
