Relatives of the first dean of UC Hastings College of the Law announced they're suing to prevent the regents from changing the school's name.
A prepared statement from the school in response to the lawsuit reads, in part,"the college remains committed to moving forward with the name change, and to continuing our restorative justice efforts with the support of the campus community."
Aside from the historical arguments, the plaintiffs say that changing the name is essentially a breach of contract that was reached back when the school was established in 1878. "Whether by popular opinion or a dean or whatever woke issue du jour changes opinion about something does not allow the state to abrogate this contract," said Harmeet Dhillon, the attorney representing the relatives of Hastings.
They want the UC Hastings College of the Law name to remain or they want the state to pay back the $100,000 in gold coins their relative once paid for the naming rights. At today's rate, that could be tens of millions of dollars.
