We're going to need a clearer understanding of "atonement" here. How can one "atone" for a "legacy?" And what is a "legacy" and to whom does it belong and on what grounds? Can secular citizens in 21st century Eugene atone for or "reckon with" what was done to Catholics by 1920s and 1930s KKK members in Oregon? Do contemporary Catholics have to atone, too?  If I joined the UO last year, do I have to atone? It's hard for me to make sense of that language. I absolutely agree that the University of Oregon should have a continuing commitment to inquiring into its own history and educating itself and others about that history. I also believe very strongly in continuing contemporary inquiry into current policies and practices to discover biases and prejudices and discrimination and unfair treatment. I understand the educational function of considering the names of buildings. I suspect, though, that it diverts attention from forms of bias and discrimination that affect us more directly now.
