Family disputes that Serranus Clinton Hastings was responsible or involved in atrocities against Native Americans, and it sues to block a name change to the state's first law school.
There’s no disputing the role of the namesake of UC Hastings in an American genocide. His name doesn’t belong on UC’s law school.“AB 1936 ensures that the history and suffering of the Yuki and Round Valley people are not dismissed,” Ramos said in a statement. “This is a critical step toward healing a traumatic history and rectifying wrongs.”
The family disputes Serranus Hastings was responsible or involved in atrocities against Native Americans by financially supporting raids from state-run militia groups that sought to drive away tribes.In at least one place with the offending name — the unincorporated town of Squaw Valley near Kings Canyon National Park — discussions about what the name should be have already grown heated.
The group asked the court to enforce the clause in the original legislative action that requires the state to pay back $100,000 to Hastings’ descendants if the college “cease to exist,” along with 144 years’ worth of interest. That would equal more than $1.7 billion with an annual interest rate of 7%, according to the original terms of the agreement.

Avoiding Conflict Will Only Hurt Your Family BusinessDisagreement in a family business is natural over time. As a family grows, interests diverge and individual family members’ relationships with the business can change. It’s healthy and expected for individual owners (or future owners) to have difference perspectives. So, the desire to quash those perspectives, rather than risk rocking the boat with differences of opinion, is often counterproductive. If your family isn’t discussing any competing ideas, you’re likely avoiding conversations about important issues. This fake harmony can be far more damaging than the fireworks type of conflict, because it causes families to avoid making difficult, but important, decisions about the business or the family. This article discusses the signs of fake harmony that you should watch for, as well as tools for overcoming it.
