Several days later, school officials announced that the new name would be Antonin Scalia Law School. On May 17, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia gave final approval for the renaming. The law school has a reputation for conservative teaching which increased with the renaming in 2016 for Scalia, who was a conservative. The "Washington Post" editorial board wrote that "university officials aren’t fooling anyone if they contend that naming the school after such a polarizing figure doesn’t give it an ideological brand." The law school received a gift of $50 million, the largest ever received by the university, from the estate of Allison and Dorothy Rouse to "fund a chair or chairs that will promote the conservative principles of governance, statesmanship, high morals, civil and religious freedom and the study of the United States Constitution". The university has in the past accepted donations from conservative donors in exchange for allowing the donors to have a say in hiring and firing for the Mercatus Center, the university's think tank, and to be notified of any change in the law school's leadership. The "Washington Post" editorial board called the law school's students and faculty "fairly...libertarian- and conservative-leaning" David Bernstein, a professor at the law school, wrote that in his experience "the average George Mason law school student — unlike the average faculty member — leans a bit to the moderate left." The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) for the 2017-18 academic year at Mason Law is $49,219 for in-state students attending full-time; the total cost of attendance for non-resident students attending full-time is $64,605. The Law School Transparency estimated debt-financed cost of attendance for three years is $179,567 for residents, and $234,586 for non-residents. To combat the high cost of law school, George Mason's Board of Visitors voted in 2013 to freeze tuition through the 2016-2017 academic year. Mason Law is somewhat distinctive in offering a wide variety of intense law tracks, each of which requires that approximately one-third of the credits for graduation be completed in the track, and law concentrations, which are elective specializations and have a less restrictive credit requirement as compared to the track program. The law tracks include Litigation Law, Patent Law, and Regulatory Law. The law concentrations include Antitrust Law, Communications Law, Corporate and Securities Law, Criminal Law, Homeland & National Security Law, Immigration Law, Intellectual Property Law, International Business Law, Legal and Economic Theory, Litigation Law, Personal Law, Regulatory Law, Tax Law, and Technology Law.
