Southern Utah University has decided to do away with its Harry Reid Outdoor Engagement Center. Not the building itself, but the current Senate majority leader’s name on the building due to his unpopularity as well as unfulfilled promises in donations.
The St. George Spectrum reports that university president Scott Wyatt and local officials began receiving calls for Reid, a one-time SUU Thunderbird, to no longer have his name on the building. “We had people step up and pledge money towards removing his name. In five days I received pledges totaling $40,000 — in just five days,” said a city councilman in Cedar City, Utah, where the university is located, who took part in the meetings. Wyatt decided not to accept such pledges, however, saying he did not want to disrespect or offend the senator.
While Wyatt initially resisted the calls, he recently decided to drop Reid’s name, but said that it may be given to another building in the future. He noted that another reason for dumping it from the Outdoor Engagement Center is because the expected donations to put his name on the building never came.
“They thought there would substantial donations from Harry Reid’s friends,” Wyatt told the newspaper. “But there has never been any money donated for that purpose.”
The building’s faculty also agreed with removing Reid’s name.
Reid attended SUU before ultimately graduating from Utah State University.
And slowly, oh so slowly, his star spirals downward.
“They thought there would substantial donations from Harry Reid’s friends,” Wyatt told the newspaper. “But there has never been any money donated for that purpose.”
Because criminals are not known to donate money.
“the current Senate majority leader’s name on the building due to his unpopularity”
They should probably have the entire building fumigated and disinfected while they are removing that disgusting name from the building.
Perhaps an exorcism might also be needed.
Maybe he and people like him WILL go away.
(Maybe to Cuba?)
IMHO
The headline would be more fitting if it read, “The late Harry Reid’s Alma Mater removes name off of building.” It’s time for him to go to his father, Lucifer.
What good did that do? They just turned around and named another building in his name.
That’s a nice insult to harry. The thug deserves it. No one can stand the fruitcake.
Name a sewer lagoon after him.
This says a lot... a lot more than just money.
Harry Reid’s friends-—— what? The Mafia isn’t generous?
Great minds think alike ... personally, I was thinking of something more classy like
this Jane Fonda Memorial Library ... but in this case, I yield you your better judgement.

LOL!
