UT Austin to move only Jefferson Davis statue on campus
Texas View reports UT Austin will relocate only the Jefferson Davis statue from the Main Mall amid protests and a new president’s review. Chancellor Gregory Fenves plans contextual plaques and may move Woodrow Wilson, while other Confederate statues stay. Legal challenges from the Sons of Confederate Veterans await legislature and state approvals before any further moves.
