After weeks of protests and complaints from students and faculty, the University of Richmond board of trustees announced Monday it would hit the reset button on the controversial names of two campus buildings.
The board said it would form a commission to establish principles on renaming, ensuring a âfresh start.â
In a statement, the board said it and President Ronald Crutcher are âcommitted to ensuring a broader, more inclusive process to determine how decisions are made about questions of renaming going forward.â
The announcement came two hours before the faculty senate announced it had ratified a vote of no-confidence in the boardâs top member, rector Paul Queally, calling for him to resign.
