Please know that if your institution did this, it's a racist institution. Sure, many good people still work there and do good work there. But the school as a whole functions as a white supremacist institution. Proceed accordingly.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

It's important to recognize these things in part to protect our own mental health. When the institutions that rule us do racist things, it's important to be able to say, even just to ourselves, yes, that's fucken racist.

Institutions rely on the vast majority of people accepting their actions and decisions as inevitable, ethical, and moral. Recognizing when some shit is just plain racist is an important step for individuals to save themselves from blaming themselves for their own mistreatment.
