In death, the late Antonin G. Scalia has sparked the sort of controversy that annoyed him while he was alive, a campus backlash against the perceived influence of conservatives on a public university. By agreeing to rename its law school after the U.S. Supreme Court justice at the behest of an anonymous donor of $20 million, George Mason University has inadvertently provided a flash point uniting several groups on campus with varying agendas. They include student activists who have been critical of their institution’s involvement with the Charles Koch Foundation, which provided an additional $10 million to the law school, as well as faculty members who accuse administrators there of giving big donors too much sway and others who have objected to Justice Scalia’s stands on social issues.
