BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — A group is seeking community input on how names and symbols are used at Western Kentucky University.
The Task Force on Naming and Symbols has a website that provides information about its purpose and includes a form for comments, the university said in a statement.
University President Timothy Caboni appointed the panel last year amid a nationwide racial reckoning. Discussions have included whether to rename the Potter College of Arts and Letters and the Ogden College of Science and Engineering. Both are named after people who had slaves.
