(BLOOMINGTON) - Indiana University will consider renaming its Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center in light of views held by the man for whom it is named.
IU President Adam Herbert is calling for a discussion around issues of race in the context of "Indiana's history" in connection with comments by Wildermuth, who was an IU trustee.
It was discovered that Wildermuth had written letters in 1945 stating he was opposed to social intermingling of blacks and whites and he didn't want the university integrated.
