This is what you get when you don't support universities with private money: rich guys who decide (instead of professional university administrators) how and where money is spent. This allows conservative state politicians to point to such funding sources and shrug off their duties to support the PUBLIC institutions.
Alarmingly, in another part of the country (North Carolina), a filthy rich donor who has made massive donations pressured certain departments to quit teaching some courses he disapproved of. The University caved. 
This ego-driven culture, this desire to name everything, is so much vanity. To these guys, it's a great way to get positive publicity, to further stroke their incredibly vulnerable selves.
If they truly were benefactors, they'd do it anonymously. 
But no, it's headlines and then, their holy and sacred names inscribed for perpetuity on their shrines to themselves.
I wonder why no other developed country on earth does this?
Oh, yeah.
They use public money.
