Princeton University, Protesters Reach Agreement on Former U.S. President

Princeton University will begin a discussion on the legacy of former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson as part of an agreement that ended a 32-hour sit-in on the University’s campus Thursday night, Planet Princeton reports.

The University will consider the Black Justice League’s request to have Wilson’s name removed from college buildings and programs, as well as the removal of his mural from the Wilcox Dining Hall, according to the report. The University will also explore ways to display more ethnic diversity in the artwork around campus.

The protesters will not be disciplined, according to the report.

The protest that began at Nassau Hall on Wednesday moved into the University President’s office, where the protesters met with President Christopher Eisgruber and Dean of College Jean Dolan for about an hour and a half.

The Black Justice League is a group of Black Lives Matter protesters, according to the Daily Caller.

The protest is part of a larger movement for racial justice on college campuses across America. Yale recently discontinued use of the term “Master,” and the University of Missouri’s president resigned after a group of football players said they would leave the team over racial tensions.
