Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera quit his position at Yale University
after the high-profile school announced it would remove the name of a pro-
slavery lawmaker from one of its residential colleges.
Yale's Calhoun College was named after John C. Calhoun, a 19th-century
slavery supporter and white supremacist from South Carolina. Calhoun was the
seventh vice president of the United States and attended Yale.
Yale announced plans to rename Calhoun College after Grace Murray Hopper, an
alum of the school, a renowned computer scientist and Navy rear admiral,
the New York Times reported.
Rivera announced his decision to resign from his position at the university
on Sunday over Twitter.
“Resigned yesterday as Associate Fellow of Calhoun College at Yale. Been an
honor but intolerant insistence on political correctness is lame,” he
tweeted. |
