Princeton University's president, under pressure from African American
student activists, said Thursday night that the school would begin a
process to consider expunging the legacy of former President Woodrow
Wilson from campus.
The agreement — signed by Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber —
ended a 32-hour sit-in at the president's office.
Students with the Black Justice League entered Nassau Hall around noon
Wednesday, calling for the Ivy League university to acknowledge racism
within Wilson's legacy and take actions to improve cultural sensitivity on
campus.
The agreement comes as black students across the country have been
rallying for improved race relations on college campuses, including a
national day of protest Wednesday under the hashtag #StudentBlackOut.
Wilson, a Southern Democrat who served as Princeton's president from 1902-
1910, allowed his cabinet to re-segregate federal government departments
and also forced civil servant applicants to include photographs,
considered by African Americans at the time as a move to weed them out.
"We appreciate the willingness of the students to work with us to find a
way forward for them, for us and for our community," Eisgruber said. "We
were able to assure them that their concerns would be raised and
considered through appropriate processes."
Eisgruber and two other Princeton leaders, Dean Jill Dolan and Vice
President for Campus Life Rochelle Calhoun, agreed to a number of actions
including a request to Princeton's board of trustees about removing
Wilson's name from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International
Affairs, as well as to survey students about removing the name.
The university leaders also agreed to initiate a request for the removal
of a mural of Wilson from a school dining hall, to enhance cultural
sensitivity training for faculty and to establish rooms on campus for
"cultural affinity groups."
The students also secured immunity for those who occupied the president's
office.
Following news of the agreement, the university notified students via
email that a "non-specific bomb and firearm threat" had been made in
reference to the student protest.

relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.
