Buffalo, NY - UB is removing the names of Millard Fillmore, James O. Putnam and Peter B. Porter from four locations. UB says the decision aligns with "the universitys commitment to fight systemic racism and create a welcoming environment for all."
Putnam Way, a road on North Campus, will be renamed Mary Talbert Way in honor of the Buffalo civil rights pioneer.
Millard Fillmore Academic Center, which houses academic departments, student residences and other services, and is part of the Ellicott Complex, will be known as Academic Center until a new name is determined.
The former Putnams Marketplace Eatery in the Student Union will be known as Union Marketplace & Eatery.
Porter Quadrangle, a residence hall that is part of the Ellicott Complex, will be renamed at a later date.
The university will make changes to campus signage and websites prior to the start of the fall semester, which begins Aug. 31.

Oh this is so much better. Wow, at last, we can all get back to being offended with each other. Good that this is all past and we have no more reason to be offended.
The Red Guards march onward...................
South Carolina is where this ball got rolling, everybody thank Nimrata Randhawa.
Everybody must have their copy of The Little Red Book at ALL TIMES................
They want to make the young people in this country ashamed of our history. There won't have to be a war. The next generation will fall over like dominos.
I will henceforth be know as 'plain white vanilla'
So sayeth the systemic racists.
Could renaming buildings become a legal issue for institions?
I really hope people learn not to donate or give endowments to any colleges, since they obviously hate the American people.
The Millard Fillmore Student Center will be renamed the Mallard Fillmore Student Center.
Mildred Pierce was unavailable for comment.
To most people, of all races, passing these “symbols” means zip, zilch, nada TODAY. Their symbolic importance is always merely symbolic of the time they were made, and zero else, and notice by no one but trouble making history revisionist academics. They have zero to do with “systemic racism”.
“...create a welcoming environment for all.”
Such patent BS. I am really offended by historical revisionists who want to destroy the country, our Founders and national heroes.
No school that does this is welcoming me. So how the HELL is this this “creating a welcoming environment for all” if I, and tens of millions of others like me, are not welcome there?
Leftist garbage. Don’t they ever think their actions are doing the exact opposite of what they claim?
The other President from the Buffalo area is Grover Cleveland. He could be next. He was the only president to have ever personally hanged two men. They were both white and it was part of his official duties as Sheriff at the time, but that doesn’t matter. Nooses are racist and nobody suffered more from nooses than the noble Black race. So Cleveland has to go as well.
Franklin Pierce COllege will be dismantled ?
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be SUNY students.
Millard Fillmore was President of the United States and Chancellor of the University of Buffalo.
If UB wants to “cancel” him, why don’t they just cancel themselves, and dissolve the whole University! PHOOEY!!!!
Does this mean they're going to end Affirmative Action for student admissions and faculty promotions?
Whoops - better find some place new to get well: https://doctor.webmd.com/hospital/millard-fillmore-suburban-hospital-buffalo-ny-13640ffb-8547-4b24-b770-8535164db9bb-physicians#addiction-medicine
