Stern School of Communication

[snopes]

Comment: Ever since I started attending Boston University, I've heard a
rumor about one of its most famous alumni, Howard Stern. Apparantly, he
offered a very hefty sum of money to BU's College of Communication with
the stipulation that it be renamed the Stern School Of Communication. The
BU administration balked, as it did not want to be associated with Stern
(they frequently distance themselves from him whenever possible). The
College of Communication, while still a top communication school,
nonetheless is known on campus for its outdated and inadequate facilities,
especially as it's across the street from the well-funded School Of
Management (the "Temple Of Money," as it's been dubbed by those on the
outside). Communication students often bemoan BU's apparant decision to
reject Stern's offer at the expense of its students.

Anyway, is there any truth to this? This rumor is commonly accepted on
campus but I haven't been able to find anything on it and I'm wondering if
it's just a complete fabrication, as many of BU's rumors are.

It's true. After getting snubbed by his alma mater, he offered the money to the college that keeps his favorite strip club Scores populated, both with dancers and with customers. Hence the Stern School of Business at NYU...
