Talk:Victor Posner

"Honors"?

Under the heading "Honors" it states "Honors include the Victor Posner Center for Communicative Disorders, University of Miami Ear Institute (named in his honor)..." This sounds like a standard naming in exchange for being a donor (much like the renaming of San Francisco General Hospital to "The Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital" after the Zuckerbergs donated $75 million, or about 7.5% of the cost of the hospital's addition). In other words, it isn't an "honor", it's a quid pro quo naming right, in exchange for money. The remainder of the section is even less reflective of "honors". To wit: "In 1988, $3 million in charitable donations were ordered as part of a sentence for tax evasion. He was also required to work 5000 hours of community service time." A donation to charity that is required by a court as a sentence for tax evasion does not count as an "honor".
