Florida Atlantic University will remove the name of an insurance magnate, Barry Kaye, from its business school after Mr. Kaye said he would not fulfill a $16-million pledge, which had been the university's largest, the Sun Sentinel and Palm Beach Post reported. Mr. Kaye, who had been scrutinized for a proposal to do business with the university, blamed economic conditions for the default. He will pay $5-million of the pledge, and his name will remain on two halls and an auditorium.
