Poll: how long will it be before we rename Clemson Univ?


Jun 12, 2020, 3:12 PM

With the renaming snowball starting to tumble, and knowing that Thomas Green Clemson, son-in-law of John C. Calhoun, was a slave-owning, outspoken proponent of slave labor (see article below) who made explosives as a part of the Confederacy, how long will it be before politicians re-name our beloved school?

I thought using his name in the school was a requirement for the state to get his land for the school in the first place? Can it even be changed?

Lawmakers make and protect the laws. They can also change the law, as highlighted by the last two Presidential Administrations.

Plus, who's going to defend it from changing? They'll be labeled the biggest racist of all

I was thinking it was part of Clemson's will that the school had to include his name, but I could be completely mis-remembering.

Never happen. Too much money on the line. Clemson is a brand now.

I think that maybe our current president would consider it.

Your poll is flawed. "Never" should be an option.***

Never - are you asking how long before we rename Washington


Jun 15, 2020, 1:41 PM

state and all the universities with Washington in their name?
How about Vanderbilt?
How about Yale?
Heck, how about Wofford?

Clemson owned slaves for about 10 years while in PA with his family. He never owned them in SC and he was one of few college founders in the south that didn't prohibit blacks or women (and he easily could have as slavery was over when he made his will).

He was a product of his time, just like Washington, Jefferson and many others. This is a ridiculous argument and any true Clemson fan should #### about it.
