Vanderbilt was founded by a rich white cishet shitlord and a man whose family enslaved black men. It's time to erase the name "Vanderbilt" from the university.

Better not offend the black people that don't go there.

It is embarrassing that such a prestigious university can't even be intellectually honest about their own history.

Liberals are real good at using these types of words. So, I think they should request cash payment, with each bill hand initialed by each "anonymous" donor. Otherwise, they might be moving cash around from one account to another at Vanderbilt.
Did I get it right?

1) Cornelius Vanderbilt's gift to found Vanderbilt University was $1 million. So removing one word from a building on the campus will cost the university more than what it cost to found the university.
One observation.
1) Inflation

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and assume that Russian understands this concept.
I think he was just making a rhetorical point.

Nice how they can just remove a word and change history like that.
Not implying that's their motive but if you knew much about history you'ld know that that's a great tactic to change history. You still believe all that bullshite from grade school?

Yes, yes I am. Everyone knows there has not been any inflation over the past 185 years, right?
Chill out. It was intended to be a bit of humorous trivia. Sorry if you take it so seriously....

Whew. I'm glad we dodged that racial bullet. Thanks, Vandy!

Too bad they can't erase the memory of their football team.

While dumb, I respect the fact that they put their money where their mouth is. Many institutions would try to keep the funding while changing the name.
