Cal State San Marcos is removing the name of one of its founding fathers from campus because of comments he made decades ago about people who came to the U.S. illegally.
The late State Sen. William Anderson Craven had a long history as a public servant. He served in the military, on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and 20 years in the state senate.
“There will be a lot of people who will disagree with what I am going to say, and it is just a thought I had. It is not a philosophy," Craven said during a Analyze and build a common understanding of the contemporary issues surrounding the William A. Craven name and his legacies. “It was a lot of work. I think people struggled," said Patricia Prado-Olmos, one of the co-chairs of the task force."They struggled with ways in which to reconcile what they were learning, how they were hearing very different views, and to think about ... what was the right thing, or the best thing, to help the campus and the students and faculty and staff here, move forward.”
