It's nice to see an American university naming something after someone who isn't a major donor for a change.

Oh, wait a second:

In conclusion, I can only manage a flippant "lmfao." Amazing what passes as a "gift" in the world of non-profits, isn't it?
Yeah, those asshats should just keep their money!

I'm genuinely not clear on what your point is. A quid pro quo is not a gift. It is a transaction. Why should what is effectively buying the naming rights to a law school qualify as a charitable donation?
Because without it the building wouldn't have been built (or would have taken a lot of money from some place else that, in theory, needs it).

yep

I guess I don't see what the big deal is.  Does anybody even care about names on things like this (other than teh college kids that see everything as a grave injustice)?
