UNC to Rename Saunders Hall
Posted May 28, 2015
Trustees said they believed the University’s leadership made an error in citing William L. Saunders’ role in the KKK as one qualification for the building name honor. In removing Saunders’ name, trustees followed UNC-Chapel Hill’s existing policy on renaming campus buildings, which allows revoking an honoree’s name if continuing to use it would “compromise the public trust, dishonor the University’s standards, or otherwise be contrary to the best interests of the University.”
