In January 2006, despite protest from a portion of students and alumni, the Faculty of Medicine was renamed as the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine "as a recognition of the generosity" of Li Ka Shing and his foundation, which pledged HK$1 billion in support of the university's "general development as well as research and academic activities in medicine".
