FELONIOUS BONK


SETON HALL DROPS
FELON’S NAME
FROM BUILDING

SOUTH ORANGE -- Seton Hall University, a Catholic institution named for a saint, removed the name of Dennis Kozlowski, convicted felon and former chief executive of Tyco International Ltd., from a building on campus.

The name was removed today at Kozlowski's request, Seton Hall spokesman Thomas White said in a telephone interview.

The building has been renamed Jubilee Hall.

Seton Hall, a school of 10,000 students in South Orange, has had at least three buildings named for convicted felons. Kozlowski, a 1968 Seton Hall graduate, faces as many as 30 years in prison after being convicted of larceny for looting Tyco of more than $150 million and defrauding shareholders. His name also came off a rotunda in the library, White said.
