Goodness: that's a lost opportunity for fundraising. Surely £20m for a Bloomberg Businness School would not have been unreasonable?

In July 2020, the Business School committed to changing its name after it was found that some of Sir John Cass’s wealth was obtained through his links to the slave trade.
Seems quite reasonable to rename the school after Bayes:

Bayes’ theorem suggests that we get closer to the truth by constantly updating our beliefs in proportion to the weight of new evidence.

Sounds like a much needed perspective, especially today!
