Bye, GPA!

Milquetoast Hall

Does anyone actually think the Board of Trustees put more than five minutes thought into choosing a new name for Saunders Hall? We bet there was lots of debate between “Carolina Hall,” “UNC Hall,” “GDTBATH Hall” and “Can we please stop talking about racism for the next 16 years Hall?”
