Cleveland State University will officially change name of Marshall law school following unanimous board of trustees vote today
The Cleveland State University board of trustees today voted unanimously to rename its law school the Cleveland State University College of Law from the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
The vote followed recommendations from an ad hoc commitee composed of students, faculty and alumni, that earlier this year recommended the change as to no longer memorialize John Marshall, an"unrepetent slave owner." The committee had said that John Marshall does not well represent a majority-minority city like Cleveland and was inconsistent with the university's values. Marshall's slaveholding, and his unwillingness to free his slaves as others in his era did so, was the main reason for the committee's decision.
