Harvard University has announced it will stop using the title “house master” to describe the heads of its residential dorms, following protests by students who say the term is tied to slavery. Harvard is one of many schools nationwide where protests have erupted over racism on campus. Princeton has also dropped the title “master” for its residential dorm heads. At Princeton, students are also demanding the renaming of buildings currently named after Woodrow Wilson. As president, Wilson ordered the re-segregation of restrooms and cafeterias in Washington government buildings and mandated that screens be set up to separate black and white workers in federal offices. Wilson was also president of Princeton University. At Yale University, where administrators are also considering plans to abandon the title “master,” students are also demanding the institution rename the residential dorm Calhoun College, named after former Vice President John C. Calhoun, one of the most prominent pro-slavery figures in history.
