A record-breaking $50 million gift to George Mason University, announced Thursday, will go to the university’s Antonin Scalia Law School to support 13 new faculty members.

The gift is a bequest from the estate of the late Justice Allison M. Rouse of the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco and his wife Dorothy B. Rouse. Allison Rouse was an appointee of then-Governor Ronald Reagan, who as president later appointed Antonin Scalia to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and then elevated him to the U.S. Supreme Court.
