Yeah, but if you were Jeff Bezos why would you settle for a name on a building or a department, over Bezos University ?


I'm sure there is no shortage of universities which would rename themselves to Bezos U for enough money. It's not even a particularly radical notion. I don't know any examples of entire universities but Cornell's Business School renamed itself after a very large donation and MIT's new computing school is named after a very large donor.


Duke wasn't founded by James Duke, it renamed itself from Trinity College after his donation.


And technically named after his father.
