The same logic may apply to re-naming Stanford, depending on which part of Leland Stanford's life one considers. See his inaugural address as CA governor, decrying "a degraded and distinct people" exercising "a deleterious influence upon the superior race" http://governors.library.ca.gov/addresses/08-Stanford.html …https://twitter.com/elizabeth_joh/status/1039309897119064064 …

I don’t know if it’s the same situation. The Stanfords founded the university and named it in Leland Jr’s honor. Boalt Hall was named for John Boalt, well after he peddled his anti-Chinese agenda.

because Leland Jr. died of typhoid as a teenager on a trip to Florence, Italy and then his parents woke up one morning soon after and decided that, "The children of California shall be our children."
