The Register-Guard reported Friday that President Michael Schill will forward his recommendation to remove Frederic Dunn’s name from the dorm to the university’s Board of Trustees. It is scheduled to meet Sept. 8-9 and makes final decisions about naming and renaming campus buildings.
Schill, however, has not made a decision yet whether to back another demand by the university’s Black Student Task force to take university founder Matthew Deady’s name off a campus building that was the university’s first and is now home to the its mathematics department. Full story.
