Woodrow Wilson was a progressive and a racist so having his name on a building is problematic.

Monmouth U. Will Keep Woodrow Wilson’s Name on Campus Building

Monmouth University has decided to keep Woodrow Wilson’s name on a campus building that honors him, following discussions on the New Jersey campus of his segregationist views, the Asbury Park Press reported.

The university said in a written statement that its board had required that “significant steps” be taken to foster a “comprehensive and balanced understanding” of the former president’s legacy.

“Moving forward,” the university said, “the board charged the administration with sharing a more complete view of Wilson’s history as part of a collective learning process about the historical issues of his time, and identifying ways to ensure a comfortable and inclusive experience for all campus members.

In April, Princeton University similarly decided not to remove Wilson’s name from its public-policy school and a residential college. In doing so, it vowed to do more to make the campus inclusive and to educate people about Wilson’s views.
