Friday was a big day for Clemson University.
The Clemson Board of Trustees called an emergency meeting on Friday morning and unanimously voted to remove the name of John C. Calhoun from the name of Clemson University’s honor college.
The schools BOT will also request the South Carolina General Assembly to remove the name of Ben Tillman from Tillman Hall and restore its original name of the Main Building back.
Prior to being named Tillman Hall, Clemson students called the Main Building, “Old Main.”
Clemson President Jim Clements will have a meeting with the media at 11 a.
