Editor-in-Chief: Lauren Winchester Phone: (512) 232-2212 E-mail: [email protected] Associate Editors: 4 Heath Cleveland Doug Luippold Tuesday, June 15, 2010 OpiniOn Dave Player Dan Treadway The Daily Texan GaLLERY VIEWPOINT Let’s talk about race Last week, a panel organized by the Office for Diversity and Community Engagement met to discuss the fate of Simkins Hall, a dormitory named after William Simkins, a former UT law profes- sor and Klansman. The 21-person committee is composed of students, faculty and community leaders who will advise President William Powers Jr. and the UT System Board of Regents on the prospect of renaming the dorm. Unfortunately, this excitement was quickly mitigated when officials announced that the meetings would be closed to the public and the press, and only one member would speak on record about the issue. Many, including this editorial board, subsequently criticized the closed-meeting decision. Officials claim closed meetings facilitate a “frank discussion,” but this discussion needs to happen in the open. A large part of the controversy hinges on UT’s racist history, from which many believe we have not completely exorcised our- selves. A dorm named after a Klansman is not the only racist act in which UT has been complicit. Heman Sweatt fought a prolonged battle in the 1940s just to be able to enroll in UT’s law school as a black student, and the University was one of the last college football teams to integrate. The controversy gives the University an opportunity to demonstrate that it recognizes the degree to which it engaged in horrendous practic- es of racism. A public discussion would show that although the administration and faculty who honored Simkins did so 50 years ago, we are acknowledging a shameful part of our past and its consequences. The administration, by closing a meeting that is intended to calm apprehensions about UT’s racial prejudices, is essentially silencing discussion on the issue, or at least trying to do so. If the press were allowed into the meetings, they would most likely Google sells out publicize unsavory parts of UT’s history, such as how former admin- istrators made a yearly event of Simkins’ KKK-honoring speeches or sent out various directives advising admissions officers to not comply By Joshua Lee Why would Google refuse to allow cen- is a prime example of how corporate with Brown v.
