Vanderbilt paid Confederate group $1.2 million to remove ‘Confederate’ from building name
Vanderbilt is so incensed by the 83-year-old inscription on a campus building that it paid more than a million dollars to get rid of it.
Eleven years after it lost a court case to unilaterally rename “Confederate Memorial Hall” – so named because of a $50,000 donation from United Daughters of the Confederacy to a college that was later acquired by Vanderbilt – the university finally reached a resolution to get rid of the name.
