Princeton University announced today that Woodrow Wilson's name will remain on its public policy school, despite calls to remove it because he was a segregationist. Princeton was challenged to take a deeper look into Wilson's life in the fall, when a group of students raised questions about his racist views. The Black Justice League held a 32-hour sit-in inside the Princeton president's office, demanding Wilson's name be removed from programs and buildings, including the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs. University leaders concluded that Wilson's accomplishments merited commemoration, so long as his faults also are candidly recognized.
