University of Texas Moving Statue of Jefferson Davis

The University of Texas will move a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis away from the center of campus, but statues of other Confederate figures will remain, school president Greg Fenves announced Thursday.

The century-old Davis statue had been targeted by vandals and had come under increasing criticism as a symbol of racism. State government and businesses around the country have removed Confederate symbols following the mass shooting in June of black church members in Charleston, South Carolina.

Fenves took over as president of one of the nation’s largest universities in June and quickly appointed a campus task force to consider what to do with the Davis statue. Moving it to another part of campus was one of the panel’s recommendations presented earlier this month.

The statue of Davis, who was president of the Confederacy during the Civil War, will be placed in the school’s Dolph Briscoe Center for American History as part of an educational display. That will place it next door to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, a figurative monument to the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964.

The process of moving the statue will start Friday. Once refurbished, it should be on display in its new location by the end of 2017.

Fenves said statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Albert Sidney Johnston, and Confederate Postmaster General John H. Reagan, will remain near the university’s central clock tower.
