While not an alumnus, I did work there for a dozen years.
Rice also just hired/promoted its first black university president.
The university also removed the statue to the founder (William Marsh Rice) from the academic quad, and disinterred his remains, due to his “racist” past during the US Civil War in which he made the money that ended up founding the university (after he was murdered by his butler!).
What intersectionality did his butler identify with?
