I heard about this story, changing the name from Calhoun because of his racism and slavery links, on a morning radio show, Dan and Amy......
Yeah......once you start on rewriting history for P.C. bullcrap.....you can't stop.....
Yale is renaming the college named after John C. Calhoun, because he was a racist, slave owner....and of course he was a democrat, but they don't care about that...
Yale to change Calhoun College’s name to honor Grace Murray Hopper
Salovey made the decision with the university’s board of trustees — the Yale Corporation — at its most recent meeting. “The decision to change a college’s name is not one we take lightly, but John C. Calhoun’s legacy as a white supremacist and a national leader who passionately promoted slavery as a ‘positive good’ fundamentally conflicts with Yale’s mission and values,” Salovey said. “I have asked Jonathan Holloway, dean of Yale College, and Julia Adams, the head of Calhoun College, to determine when this change best can be put into effect.”
So.....if they have to rename change the college's name because Calhoun was a racist and slave owner........and democrat party member.......then Yale must change it's name too...because the founder...was a violent racist, slave seller who ordered the death of slaves.....
Here is the founder of Yale......

The records of this period mention a flourishing slave trade in Madras, a trade in which Yale participated and from which he profited.
He enforced a law that at least ten slaves should be carried on every ship bound for Europe. In his capacity as judge he also on several occasions sentenced so-called "black criminals" to whipping and enslavement.
When the demand began to increase rapidly, the English merchants even began to kidnap young children and deport them to distant parts of the world, very much against their will. At a time when profits from the slavetrade were dwindling and pressure from the Mughal government to stop the enslavement was mounting, the administration of Fort St George eventually stepped in and introduced laws to curb enslavement.

Accusations of corruption and removal[edit]
As president of Fort St. George, Yale purchased territory for private purposes with East India Company funds, including a fort at Tevnapatam (now Cuddalore). Yale imposed high taxes for the maintenance of the colonial garrison and town, resulting in an unpopular regime and several revolts by Indians, brutally quelled by garrison soldiers.
Yale was also notorious for arresting and trying Indians on his own private authority, including the hanging of a stable boy who had absconded with a Company horse.[4]
