City, University of London is to rename its business school after the 18th-century nonconformist theologian and mathematician Thomas Bayes after ditching the name of Sir John Cass, a merchant who made much of his fortune from the slave trade.
The university stripped the Cass name from its campus last summer after students raised concerns in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
City’s president, Prof Sir Paul Curran, said: “The renaming of the business school marks the start of a new chapter in City’s history, but certainly not the end of our work to address racial inequality.”

Walking fatigue is everywhere. It is the idea of it, rather than the actual one-foot-in-front-of-another business. Much as I have enjoyed watching my usual route behind the dump and along the cycle path evolve from frozen to liquid mud, spotting the first nitrous oxide cartridges of the year blooming in the undergrowth, I am officially mad with boredom. It has been six months since the exhilarating time someone set fire to a sofa along this route and my sluggish synapses need stimulation.
