City University reveals new business school name after ditching Cass over slavery links

Last modified on Wed 21 Apr 2021 14.24 EDT 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.”

UoL Business School officially ends association with slave-trade profiteer

CITY, University of London has picked a new name for its business school, ending a 20-year association with Sir John Cass, a Georgian merchant and politician who profited from the slave trade. Last July, the Cass business school promised to change its name as part of its commitment to addressing issues of inequality. The school said yesterday that, from September, the school will be named after 18th-century mathematician Thomas Bayes, with the choice motivated by his theorem that “we get closer to the truth by constantly updating our beliefs in proportion to the weight of new evidence.” City president Professor 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.
