The Law School last year accepted a $300,000 contribution from the Saudi Arabian government for the purpose of initiating a program on Islamic law, Albert M. Sacks, dean of the Law School, said yesterday.
The Saudi government attached "no conditions" to the grant except that it be used in such a program, which will become an endowed chair if the School raises the necessary $1 million, Sacks said.
Sacks said that, "to the best of his knowledge," this is the first time Harvard has ever accepted any funding from Saudi Arabia.
"The room is a terrible place--if the course could be held in a Science Center lecture hall then we wouldn't be jammed in," Susan Sacks '80 said yesterday.
Sacks said, however, that she is "willing to put up with the crowded conditions--if you're interested with what the course is about then it doesn't matter."
