People took to Twitter, with users asking if anyone had noticed that the first letters of the words could spell out some somewhat vulgar abbreviations, according to CNN . Others blogged about the new acronym, which could have been abbreviated as "ASSLaw" or "ASSoL."

The university wrote in a letter sent to students and alumni that it is "authorized to use a variety of different names."

"The name initially announced – The Antonin Scalia School of Law — has caused some acronym controversy on social media," said Henry N. Butler, dean of the law school, in the letter.

"The Antonin Scalia Law School is a logical substitute."

The school is using the alternative name on its website and marketing materials.

The renaming of the school is expected to be effective July 1, with final approval from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.
