The University of Hong Kong announced that it was going to rename its Faculty of Medicine, which conducts groundbreaking research into severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and avian influenza, in honor of a local tycoon who recently donated $128 million (US). The decision prompted alumni of the faculty to formally protest, saying the deal amounts to a sale of the faculty's reputation and could undermine the institution's academic independence.
