>>> CAL STATE SAN MARCOS IS REMOVING A FOUNDING FATHERS NAME FROM CAMPUS BECAUSE OF COMMENTS HE MADE DECADES AGO ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CAME TO THE U.S.

ILLEGALLY.

KPBS REPORTER , TONYA THORNE, LOOKS INTO THE DECISION AND WHAT'S NEXT.

>> Reporter: THE LATE WILLIAM ANDERSON CRAVEN HAD A LONG HISTORY AS A PUBLIC SERVANT.

ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND IN THE STATE SENATE.

AS HIS BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS BRINGING CAL STATE SAN MARCOS.

IN APRIL 1993, CRAVEN HALL WAS NAMED FOR THE SENATOR FOR HIS ROLE IN ESTABLISHING THE UNIVERSITY.

THAT DEDICATION WAS MET WITH CONTROVERSY OVER COMMENTS HE MADE TWO MONTHS BEFORE DURING A HEARING ON BORDER ISSUES.

>> IT SEEMS RATHER STRANGE THAT WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE RIGHTS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS FOR THE SCALE OF OUR HUMANITY.

>> Reporter: THAT COMMENT GOT HIM ACCUSED OF RACISM TOWARDS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BUT IT WAS NOT TOWARDS THIS YEAR THAT THEY VOTED TO HAVE THE SENATOR IS REMOVED FROM CRAVEN HALL.

THE VOTE CAME AFTER A TASK FORCE CAME MEETING AND DISCUSSION OF THE CHANGE.

>> IT WAS A LOT OF WORK AND I THINK PEOPLE STRUGGLED, THEY STRUGGLED WITH WAYS IN WHICH TO RECONCILE WHAT THEY WERE ALIGNING, HOW THEY WERE HEARING DIFFERENT VIEWS AND TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WAS THE RIGHT THING OR THE BEST THING TO HELP THE CAMPUS AND STUDENTS AND FACULTY AND STAFF MOVE FORWARD?

>> TO HEAR FROM SENATORS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WE ARE COMPASSIONATE.

THIS IS IN EMOTIONAL AND DIFFICULT ISSUE, THERE IS PAIN THERE FOR SURE, WE ELSE'S HEARD FROM STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN PAIN.

WE HAVE COLLEAGUES ON THE CAMPUS WHO HAVE BEEN IN PAIN FOR 30 YEARS OVER THIS, THERE WAS A LOT OF EMOTIONAL WORK THAT WENT INTO IT.

>> AND A LOT OF EMOTION FOR THE SENATOR'S DAUGHTER, SHE SAID HER FATHER DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO THE UNIVERSITY.

>> HE DID IT EXACTLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE POPULATING THE UNIVERSITY NOW, OVER 50%, OUR HISPANIC, THAT'S WHAT HE HAD IN MIND.

IF THAT'S WHAT HE HAD IN MIND, WHY ARE THEY REMOVING HIS NAME?

THIS IS SO WRONG.

>> Reporter: CRAVEN DEFENDED HIS COMMENTS, SAYING THEY WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.

>> MY FATHER NEVER APOLOGIZE BECAUSE HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING WRONG.

WHAT HE SAID WAS, FIRST OF ALL, A CONJECTURE, NOT A STATEMENT, BECAUSE PERHAPS MEANS PERHAPS.

MAY BE, WHAT AM I THINKING?

PERHAPS THEY ARE ON THE LOWEST LEVEL OF HUMANITY IN HEARING ON ECONOMICS.

>> Reporter: CRAVEN'S NAME IS IN THE FIRST TO BE REMOVED FROM A SCHOOL BUILDING OR CITY MONUMENT PICK UP THE PASS IS GOING TO BE BROUGHT UP TODAY, SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP FOR EVERY STATUE COMMEMORATED ON CAMPUS TO BE FAIR.

THE DECISION UPHOLDS THE UNIVERSITY'S MISSION AND VALUES.

>> IS IT FAIR TO JUDGE SOMEONE IN THE PAST BY THE VALUES OF TODAY?

IN MY MIND, THAT'S KIND OF A FALSE DICHOTOMY BECAUSE THE VALUES OF TODAY WHERE THERE IN THE PAST, THEY JUST WEREN'T ACKNOWLEDGED, THEY WEREN'T PART OF THE STRUCTURES OF POLITICS AND POWER AT THE TIME.

>> Reporter: SENATOR CRAVEN'S NAME HAS YET TO BE REMOVED, THE UNIVERSITY PLANS TO BEST COMMEMORATE IN A DIFFERENT WAY BUT IF HIS NAME IS IN GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ON THE BUILDING, SHE DOESN'T WANT IT ON CAMPUS AT ALL.

>> I WANT TO RETRIEVE HIS PAPERS AND MEMORABILIA FROM THE LIBRARY.

I WILL DEMAND THAT HIS SCHOLARSHIP THAT WE CREATED BE STOPPED AND THAT THE PRINCIPAL RETURNED TO THE FAMILY TO DISTRIBUTE IN AN APPROPRIATE WAY BECAUSE OH MY GOSH, WHO WHATEVER ONE, WOULD YOU WANT A SCHOLARSHIP THAT IS FROM A WHITE SUPREMACIST RACIST?

IF THAT IS THE CASE, WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
