Many USF students do not agree with James D. Phelan’s “Keep California White” and anti-Japanese stances. Instead of having a residence hall named after former San Francisco mayor Phelan, the University will rename Phelan Hall to Toler Hall on May 9. The formal announcement was made recently by ASUSF President Shaya Kara.
This hall will be named after Burl Albron Toler Sr., a former University of San Francisco student from Memphis, Tennessee who played on the legendary 1951 Dons football team and later became the first black NFL referee.
