While I was there, the History Department called it the ‘Abomination’

LSU announced with black student leaders Wednesday evening that it will rename Middleton Library, pending board approval. The proposed change would include removing the bust of Troy H. Middleton and anything associated with his name in the building.
The announcement came shortly after LSU leadership met with black student leaders for the fourth consecutive day, discussing ways to bring more racial justice to campus.

From the article
quote:
Middleton is a former LSU president, from 1951 to 1962, and his troubled legacy surrounds a letter on desegregation he wrote to former University of Texas Chancellor Harry Ransom in 1961 that said LSU still kept black students "in a given area."

They shouldn’t rename it. They should tear the dump down.

Does anyone know if Middleton supported segregation or just followed current law?

Ya know....if you really look at Middleton and think about it, it's a bigger blow to racism to KEEP his name on that eye sore

Tim Tebow taps his feet in the Middleton bathroom.

Middleton co-chair the committee that desegregated the Louisiana State Police.

I was referencing the DKE sign/lawn display for the LSU-UF game in 2007.
His preferred venue was Coates Hall.

I'm guessing some of the Pentagon buildings are next Beauregard and Taylor Halls probably won't make it to Independence Day.
