Mr. Kapoor was found guilty in a Boston court of bribing physicians to overprescribe Insys’ opioid-based drug Subsys to boost profits. Prosecutors accused Mr. Kapoor of orchestrating a nationwide bribery scheme.

The University at Buffalo Council council voted to take Kapoor’s name off the building June 3.
