Heard today “Yale” was founded by and named after a rather pernicious slave trader who mistreated slaves and others.

If you want a good laugh, read the Wikipedia article on Elihu Yale, especially the subheading Yale University. Learned something new and entertaining today!

Yes. While Calhoun was reportedly one of the better slave owners, Elihu Yale was known as a cruel owner. And, Yale was fired from his high post in India for corruption.

So, they should rename the entire university. How about Political Correctness U.?
