The University of Cincinnati's Board of Trustees voted Tuesday morning to remove Marge Schott's name from the university's baseball stadium and another space in the school's archive library immediately."Marge Schott’s record of racism and bigotry stands at stark odds with our University’s core commitment to dignity, equity, and inclusion," UC president Neville Pinto said. "I hope this action serves as an enduring reminder that we cannot remain silent or indifferent when it comes to prejudice, hate, or inequity. More than ever, our world needs us to convert our values into real and lasting action.”The board wrote in their resolution that they stand with Pinto to fight inequality."The change we want to see starts with us," the board wrote.The UC baseball stadium was constructed in 2004 and the facility was named Marge Schott Stadium in the spring of 2006 after the Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation made a million gift to the Richard E. Lindner Varsity Village.RELATED: Pro, college athletes want University of Cincinnati baseball stadium to be renamed amid protestsA petition was started online by former UC baseball player Jordan Ramey to rename the stadium due to Schott's many racists, homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks she made while she owned the Cincinnati Reds between 1984 and 1999.Ramey learned of the board's unanimous vote Tuesday morning on social media."It's great news," Ramey told WCPO. "You can see where coming together all races - black, white, everybody, all backgrounds - what community together can do for a community in a short notice. So this is a testament to that."UC athletic director John Cunningham told Ramey last week that there was momentum for the change."I had a good feeling about it," Ramey said. "You don't have to be a big name to make a change and that's huge."UC pitcher Nathan Moore was instrumental in helping Ramey with the petition. He spoke with Dr. Pinto on the phone Tuesday morning after the board's vote."Very overjoyed, really," Moore said. "It's a great feeling just to know the Cincinnati community, the school, our board wants to move everything in the right direction. And I think everybody is on the same page with that. To see this happening is amazing."UC baseball coach Scott Googins said he supported Moore, Ramey, and the other players who helped with the petition."I'm happy for Nate Moore and bringing this to light and the change that happened," Googins said. "I'm just supporting those guys. Obviously it's progress. I'd say that. We're making some good chances and it's progress."WCPO previously reported that a Reds employee said Schott used racial slurs to refer to black Reds players; her marketing director said she called him a "beady-eyed Jew," and at one point, she said Adolf Hitler had been a good leader before World War II."Just imagine how a Black student might feel walking past that, knowing that her amount of money in a donation made it OK for her name to be commemorated on a building here," Moore said.Ramey's petition received national attention regarding the stadium name."This is such a touchy topic people don't talk about which we should as a community," Ramey said. "This is a very important topic that people gloss over. It's very important for us to realize how fast this did happen. That all it did was coming together, unity, and somebody asking for change."Ramey said Tuesday's vote wasn't a celebration per se, but it has brought awareness quickly and is an indicator of the direction of the country."As an athlete for me personally as an athlete going through UC it was conflicting to play under that name," Ramey said. "It was. I'm going to put my all out and my teammates are going to put their all-out - we're brothers - but at the end of the day that's a conflicting situation to be put in as a black athlete at the university. I don't want that to happen for anybody else coming into the next generation."The Marge and Charles Schott Foundation previously made a statement about the petition."We can ask you to learn from Mrs. Schott's mistakes as well as her great love for Cincinnati," a statement from the Schott Foundation reads. "We fully support the decisions made by the organizations that have received grants from the Foundation."St. Ursula Academy decided previously to remove Schott's name from two of their campus facilities: a stadium and a school building.There was no immediate word from UC when the exterior letters of the stadium name will be removed. There is also a plaque at the stadium.Ramey doesn't have a preference for the new name of the stadium. He's just glad the community will help determine its direction."Alumni Field is what they are throwing around right now," Ramey said. "So Alumni Stadium that would be cool. We'll see where that goes but I'm glad that we got to where we're at today."WCPO's Jasmine Minor and Zach McAuliffe first reported this story. 4916

The surviving members of a grief-stricken Oregon family who believe a 13-year-old boy died while trying to save his grandmother in a wildfire detailed their harrowing attempts to escape the fire. The Statesman Journal reported that 13-year-old Wyatt Tofte of Lyons, Oregon, and his 71-year-old grandmother Peggy Mosso are among the six reported fatalities in the state from the ongoing fires. Wyatt, who was found Wednesday with his dog, is survived by his parents Angela Mosso and Chris Tofte. Angela Mosso is being treated at a burn center in Portland. More than 40,000 Oregonians have been evacuated from their homes so far and about 500,000 are in different levels of evacuation zones.The West Coast wildfires so far have consumed more land area than the size of Connecticut. In California, 10 people have died so far, with more missing. 850

The US House of Representatives will vote on whether to legalize marijuana across the country in September. This would be the first time a chamber of Congress has ever voted on removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act.Cannabis was included as what is called a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act in 1970. Schedule I drugs are defined as having a high potential for abuse and no medical benefit. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD, ecstasy and peyote.On Friday, representatives were informed the MORE Act will come up for a vote in the September work period of the House.The MORE Act - Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act - will expunge some cannabis records and create grant opportunities for people who have been negatively impacted by the criminalization of marijuana in addition to removing it from its Schedule I classification, according to Politico.Marijuana is already legal in 11 states, despite the federal designation as a Schedule I drug.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is opposed to the act, and some say the odds of it passing the senate are very slim.Even if the MORE Act passes both chambers of Congress, it would not make sales of marijuana legal. Regulation of marijuana would be left to states to decide how to handle it. 1310

The Trump administration has reportedly reversed a decision made earlier in the day to deny sending relief to California for several wildfires that have scorched the state. Wildfires in California have burned a record-breaking 4 million acres in 2020, with many still burning. In a tweet Friday afternoon, California Governor Gavin Newsom said “Just got off phone with @realDonaldTrump who has approved our Major Disaster Declaration request.” 451

The Southeastern Conference is considering barring league championship events in Mississippi unless the state changes its Confederate-based flag.“It is past time for change to be made to the flag of the State of Mississippi,” Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement Thursday. “Our students deserve an opportunity to learn and compete in environments that are inclusive and welcoming to all. In the event there is no change, there will be consideration of precluding Southeastern Conference championship events from being conducted in the State of Mississippi until the flag is changed.”The NCAA has already said it would not schedule postseason events in Mississippi because of the state flag.National protests about racial injustice have renewed debate about Confederate symbols. Mississippi has the last state flag that includes the battle emblem: a red field topped by a blue X with 13 white stars. White supremacists put the symbol on the flag in 1894 during the backlash to black political power that developed during Reconstruction.During a Black Lives Matter protest June 5 outside the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion in downtown Jackson, thousands of people cheered as an 18-year-old organizer, Maisie Brown, called for the removal of all Confederate symbols in the state, including from the flag.Bipartisan coalitions of state lawmakers have been trying to build momentum to change the flag, but Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has said repeatedly that if the banner is to be redesigned, it should be done by the state’s voters.People who voted in a 2001 election chose to keep the flag rather that replace it with a design that did not include the Confederate emblem.All of Mississippi’s public universities and several cities and counties have stopped flying the state flag in recent years because of the emblem. The state has two SEC schools — the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University.Leaders at both universities said Thursday that the state should change the flag.“Mississippi needs a flag that represents the qualities about our state that unite us, not those that still divide us,” Ole Miss Chancellor Glenn Boyce and athletic director Keith Carter said in a joint statement. “We support the SEC’s position for changing the Mississippi state flag to an image that is more welcoming and inclusive for all people.”Mississippi State President Mark E. Keenum said in a statement that he respects Sankey’s position. Keenum said he wrote to state elected officials June 12 telling them that the university’s students, faculty and administrators have been on record in favor of changing the flag since 2015.“The letter said, in part, that our flag should be unifying, not a symbol that divides us,” Keenum said. “I emphasized that it is time for a renewed, respectful debate on this issue.” 2829
