G. William Rice College of Law
The Issue
There is recent controversy concerning the Law School having been named after a "one-time" member of the KKK. There is talk about a renaming. Renaming the Law School in honor of the recently deceased faculty member G William Rice would send a very positive message to Indian Country and the rest of the nation regarding Tulsa's position amongst law schools. Bill was a mentor to many, and a hero to even more. This is an very fitting and appropriate manner to honor his memory and his contribution to the University. His life's work as a champion of advocacy, justice and scholarship speaks for itself. He is far more worthy than someone who buys the honor with an endowment.
