University of Cincinnati & Saint Ursula Academy In Cincinnati May I Share Some Insight With You?

I recently found out that both organizations decided to take down the name of a person that was placed upon a facility(s) within both schools. You have your reasons why the decision was made and the removal of the name was acted upon. I am not here to either defend or dispute your decision making process. It is your prerogative to make that choice but I do believe there should be further action to back up these choices. Would you like to know what it is? If you are set against having this person's name graced upon a facility or two then I would think the only right/ethical choice would be is to return the grant money or donation received from each perspective organization back to the foundation. You cannot pick and choose one without the other. If you stand for a truth then I would think the money accepted would also stand against that truth right? You cannot cast a stone against a person but in the same respect accept and keep the money given to you by that very same person. That, in my opinion, is not staying the course with what you believe. So will you vote on returning the money that was exchanged? Better yet, when taking that vote will you also agree to sending back the money to the foundation with interest that accrued throughout the years while you had it in your possession? From what I understand the foundation is not requesting for the money to be returned to them, but it would be the right thing to do in order to close this chapter of the book.
Something to think about right? People are so quick to remove this or that but I do not hear stories that are also stating they will return money back to the donor (the person that offended them) that gave a donation or grant money. One more thought … I noticed the name in the high school as St. Ursula. I would guess the school was overseen at one time or is still being run by Ursuline nuns. If that is the case then I am a bit disheartened. I attended both an Ursuline run grade school and high school and this just does not seem to fall in line with the "servant's heart" mind set we were taught. I thought Jesus reached out to sinners with compassion and love.
