Administrators of a residential college named after President James Madison on the campus of Michigan State University announced their willingness to expunge the Founding Father’s name from their institution.
In a letter addressed last week to “Alumni, students, and friends of the college,” interim dean Linda Racioppi and assistant dean Jeff Judge expressed their desire to foster an environment where “students can thrive as scholars and human beings,” adding, “As such, the College is taking steps to combat systemic racism and the perpetuation of whiteness and to probe how it can best support Students of Color, especially Black students.”
