UC-Berkeley ‘Resists’ – Rejects Demands To Quickly Rename Buildings That Offend Snowflakes

Still ‘under review by campus leadership’ While many colleges across the country are rushing to rename buildings and remove statues of Confederate leaders and other controversial historical figures in the wake of a deadly rally, an unlikely public university is bucking the trend.
The University of California-Berkeley has thus far resisted repeated calls dating back at least two years to rename a few buildings whose namesakes are considered racist historical figures.
Since the ‘Unite the Right’ rally to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, Virginia, the institutional home of the Free Speech Movement has faced criticism for its slow and methodical process of reviewing building names.
In an email to The College Fix, UC-Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof said the administration was looking into the issue.
‘These matters are under review by campus leadership, and we hope to have an update regarding next steps in the coming weeks,’ he said, declining to explain the drawn-out timeline.
