Pansy U? Or Coward U?

They could just update and say they are, for the sensitive folks, named after Denzel Washington & Spike Lee?

this country must come to its senses and stop allowing the tail to wag the dog. BLM and their associates are evil masters.

They could rename after luminaries, such as George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown. Floyd-Brown? Brown-Martin? Martin-Brown?

One aspect of this confuses me. The trustees of the university will decide this. How can they be trustees of an institution, of which the name offends their sensibilities?

IIRC Yale was a slave trader. So why not rename the school the University of New Haven?

Maybe Marx and Lenin University? Stalin and Mao? Molotov–Ribbentrop Academy?

How about Patrice Lumumba University - Virginia Campus. OK, we can get with the times and go with The Peoples’ Friendship University, the current name.

“Washington Football Team”

Some are already just calling it "The Nation's Capital Football Team" and eliminating the "Washington".

Rename it John C. Calhoun University, and encourage free thinkers to enroll and DEBATE.

That was the original, Greek concept of a “ university “.

Calhoun was famous as a great debater.

Yale is not the only Ivy League school begun, and named after, a slave trader.

Brown University also honors a wealthy slave trader.

A name change would stop most alumni from donating.

Any alumni that support a name change are probably professional moochers who never donate anything to anyone.
