Draggingtree Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Texas A&M officials say moving Sul Ross statue is no longer an option, but students say the university never made that clear University officials said Wednesday that the decision to keep the Ross statue in place is not a new one, and that the diversity committee that has been studying the issue for the past three months was never considering removing the statue. BY KATE MCGEE JAN. 27, 2021 Texas A&M leadership is clearing the air: the much-disputed Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue, honoring the former university president and Confederate general, is staying put. Interim President John Junkins stressed the school’s intentions to The Texas Tribune on Wednesday, just two days after the university put out a report that characterized the question of the statue’s future as unresolved. Students who have been pushing the university on diversity issues also said they were never told that the issue had been decided. Junkins said the statue will remain where it is at the center of campus, known as Academic Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
