“The trustees concluded that Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college whose scholars, students, and alumni must stand firmly against racism in all its forms,” said Christopher L. Eisgruber, Princeton’s president,Students had long called for the removal of the 28th president’s name from Princeton’s public affairs school.
Wilson, a Democrat who led Princeton in the early 1900s and served as U.S. president between 1913 and 1921, publicly advocated for and implemented racist policies, including resegregating federal government workers after they had been integrated for decades. “Wilson’s racism was significant and consequential even by the standards of his own time,” Eisgruber said.
Princeton is the latest college to drop the name of a racist figure from a campus building or college in the wake of nationwide protests over racism.
