On Tuesday, though, the university, now fully aware of the situation, issued a statement that clarified the school's name.
Under the terms of the anonymous gift, we are authorized to use a variety of different names. The name initially announced – The Antonin Scalia School of Law – has caused some acronym controversy on social media. The Antonin Scalia Law School is a logical substitute. We anticipate the naming will be effective on July 1, 2016 pending final approval by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
So long, ASSLaw, you're time on Earth was short, bright and brilliant.
