UPDATE: Doak Campbell name to remain on FSU football stadium

The long saga over the name of Florida State’s football stadium had reached a conclusion: Doak Campbell’s name will remain emblazoned on it

From Byron Dobson of the Tallahassee Democrat:

A presidential task force addressing anti-racism, equity and inclusion at Florida State University voted Wednesday afternoon against removing Doak Campbell’s name from the football stadium.

The vote was 12-7 to keep the name.

The full task force overruled a recommendation by the Historical Legacy Subcommittee to remove Campbell’s name from the stadium. They had deadlocked earlier on the issue in a 3-3 vote.
