Yale Renames Calhoun College Over Namesake’s Ties To Slavery And White Supremacy

Yale University announced Saturday that it will change the name of one of its esteemed residential colleges, Calhoun College, named after ardent supporter of slavery and prominent 19th century alumnus, John C. Calhoun. The vote by the Ivy League’s trustees comes after years of debate and it overturns last April’s decision to keep the name.
