Nearly 40 student-athletes from seven different sports posted a letter on Twitter asking for a series of changes that, if enacted, would alter UT's racial landscape, from changing building names to replacing 'The Eyes of Texas' as the school song.
UT athletes are asking the university to rename several buildings on campus that have been on critics’ watchlists for years — Robert Lee Moore Hall, Painter Hall, Littlefield Hall and James Hogg Auditorium. The group also calls for the “replacement of statues with more diverse statues on campus designed by artists/sculptors who are people of color.”
Furthermore, the group calls for a permanent Black athletic history exhibit and that the athletic department give 0.5% of its annual earnings to Black organizations and the Black Lives Matter movement. Based on the most recent audited figures, that total would equal approximately $1.1 million from a revenue base of $223.9 million.
And finally, the group asks that players no longer be forced to sing the school song, “The Eyes of Texas,” after games. The letter requests the replacement of a new song “without racist undertones.”
