Middelbury is a liberal college. Eugenics is a liberal policy.

It has since come to light that Middlebury itself had a record, much longer than Mead’s, of supporting eugenics.
Eugenics was a big leftist cause for social democrat reformers 100 years ago. Most colleges and universities supported it. But the ideology came crashing down after World War 2.

It has since come to light that Middlebury itself had a record, much longer than Mead’s, of supporting eugenics. Legal Insurrection compiled various documents that show the school’s support, including regular courses on the topic of eugenics. Former university president Paul Moody also chaired a committee on the “racial stock of Vermont,” as reported by the legal blog. “Meanwhile, as the litigation grinds on through the summer, one thing is clear: Middlebury College taught more about eugenics than Mead would ever know,” Jane Coleman wrote on June 15.
(Governor John Mead (1841-1920) was a Republican, so of course he is okay to cancel. The faculty of Middlebury College who actually taught eugenics courses? Meh.)

The article does not say when Mead made gift, or how much it was. Perhaps Middlebury College should offer to pay that money back, with interest. Oh, and factor in the effects of inflation, too.
Just for fun, I did a quick (and rough) calculation. I assumed a 5% interest rate and an inflation rate of 2.5%. If the gift was $50,000 and was made in 1915, Middlebury College would owe the Mead estate $123,000,000 today.
What say you, Middlebury College?
