George Mason University School of Law Reported to be Renaming Law School
Per Nina Totenberg's twitter:
George Mason renaming its law school The Antonin Scalia School of Law. The late Justice, a genuinely beloved teacher, must be on cloud nine!

More information is here at the Wall Street Journal. This comes at the same time as two gifts, an anonymous $20 million and another $10 million from Charles Koch.

Man, talk about niche marketing. Twenty years from now, when Justice Scalia is remembered only for fairweather originalism and for tarting up the US Reports with "homosexual agenda" and the like, the school will be looking for a plausible excuse to rename itself.

George Mason can name itself what it wants. That said, I'd suggest a way of altering the acronym so it isn't "The ASSOL".

I'm not sure he is on cloud nine. After all he thinks the school is filled with "sows' ears".
