BREAKING: Princeton strips Woodrow Wilson’s name from prestigious public policy school and college because of his ‘racist thinking and policies’
Princeton has stripped the name of 28th President Woodrow Wilson from a college and public policy school due to his ‘racist thinking.’
Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber announced Saturday the institution will remove Wilson’s name from its public policy school and a residential college.
‘On my recommendation, the board voted to change the names of both the School of Public and International Affairs and Wilson College,’ Eisgruber said in a statement.
He added: ‘the trustees concluded that Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college whose scholars, students, and alumni must stand firmly against racism in all its forms.’
