George Mason University Renames Antonin Scalia Law School After Unfortunate Acronym Discovered

[Wowza!]

[QUOTE]George Mason University recently renamed its law school after the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia -- and then quickly realized the acronym that name created was problematic.
The school first announced it would change the name to The Antonin Scalia School of Law, or ASSoL, after receiving an anonymous $30 million donation on March 31.

Observers took to Twitter to comment on the acronym's similarity to a vulgarity, with many of those tweeting not a fan of the conservative justice.

The school acknowledged the issue in a letter to its students and alumni, [URL="http://georgemason.imodules.com/controls/email_marketing/admin/email_marketing_email_viewer.aspx?sid=1564&eiid=1701&seiid=1244&usearchive=1&puid=e390f401-ea33-46ec-9c79-95689602d864&csid=236600"]writing[/URL], "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."

But it's so accurate.

Lady Justice would be proud.

I would've left it as ASSoL as long as possible until legal action was taken.

Everyone who graduates from the aforementioned school shall heretofore be referred to as ASSoLes.
