U of H is renaming a building just because it has the same name as John CCalhoun, though it was not named after him. Its not just "them" any more. Its here. Its "us".
"The University of Houston does not have statues, memorials or monuments honoring the Confederate era. Calhoun Lofts were originally named to coincide with the name of the adjacent city street when the university began its aggressive residential expansion in the last decade. While the residence hall was not named in recognition of John C. Calhoun, in the wake of recent events, and out of sensitivity to our diverse student community the university has decided to change the name to University Lofts. The change will be made as soon as practical.

I did see where this decision was made in the heat of battle supposedly and the announcer (Rob Lee) agreed with the decision. I guess it was not very important to him as he was for the move to another game. Maybe they thought it was not going to get out to the public. Dunno........seems totally insane!
