The University of Alabama is considering rejecting a $26.5mn donation after its benefactor called on students to boycott the school over Alabama's strict new abortion law, which criminalizes the procedure in almost all cases.The school's board of trustees is expected to reject philanthropist and lawyer Hugh Culverhouse Jr's donation, return the $21.5 million it has already received, and remove Culverhouse's name from the law school on Friday.
