Steven S. Foldes PhD published an editorial in the Star Tribune following the final vote of the board of regents to reject the call to remove the names of four administrators from campus buildings. Foldes recounted what occurred at the meeting, the refusal to allow people to answer questions or speak, and three regents’ denial of the University’s culpability for racism and antisemitism in its history, other than in highly general terms.
