The University of Cincinnati has announced Marge Schott's name has been removed from its baseball stadium.
After the school's board of trustees unanimously voted for the change, Cincinnati President Neville G. Pinto issued a statement about the decision:
"Marge Schott’s record of racism and bigotry stands at stark odds with our University’s core commitment to dignity, equity and inclusion. My recommendation to the board to remove her name is grounded in the firm belief that speaking out against exclusion is as essential as speaking up for inclusion. I hope this action serves as an enduring reminder that we cannot remain silent or indifferent when it comes to prejudice, hate or inequity.
