University of California at Berkeley officials on Tuesday stripped another hall of its name, the fourth in a year s time.
Kroeber Hall, which honored anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, was unnamed because he continues to be associated with the ideas of exclusion and erasure of Native Americans. Kroeber is remembered as the founder of the study of anthropology in the American West.
