It’s a rare law review article that ignites intense public debate — a feat achieved by University of Denver Sturm College of Law professor Tom Russell’s recent paper exploring the University of Texas’ resistance to integration following the seminal Brown v. Board of Education ruling of 1954.
The academic paper recounted the university’s decision that same year to name a dormitory after former Texas law professor William Stewart Simkins, who helped found the Ku Klux Klan in Florida following the Civil War. Russell’s work prompted calls for the renaming of the dorm, which culminated with a proposal Friday by University President William Powers Jr. to change the name from Simkins Residence Hall to Creekside Dormitory.
