Yes and no. While there's no proof of him being an actual racist, they removed his name based on the fact that he was a white male born before 1950 which implies racism. Imagine being a student of color having to enter a building named after an old white guy who you can assume was probably racist.

What version of Matlab IS in the lab?lancevance said:
This stuff is getting out of hand. Han, Abdul, Bupesh and Kim, the actual graduate and PhD students for whom the school actually exists are more concerned with what version of Matlab is in the labs and where can they find ethnic groceries. They dont care who did what in 1822.
My kids think it's funny that Mrs. Goose and I were born "way back in the Nineteen-Hundreds".agnerd said:
When my grandkids find out that I had an outside dog, an internal combustion engine vehicle, and that I refer to my black friends as 'black,' they're probably going to be pretty ashamed of me, too.
I've got 2020b. Since I work for TAMU-CC I assume it's a systemwide thing...Shai-Hulud said:What version of Matlab IS in the lab?lancevance said:

Yes, I know about EBCDIC and punching your cards.

When did this happen?
When I was at A&M's Engineering school in the mid 90s, I had not heard of "Look School", it was just TAMU Engineering. Then I noticed it after 2000. Now it is gone again.
Zachary is an even older white guy, is his name no longer on the Engineering building after all the $$$ he donated.
That RPN stuff was some of the dumbest **** ever. I bet you drive a Chevy Bolt.Ag with kids said:HP-41CV with RPN for the win...infinity ag said:saber69 said:Ag with kids said:It's a thing we nerds use...saber69 said:

So did I, and I'm class of 2007. It was my emergency backup to my HP32SII RPN calculator. And yeah...I did actually use it on a test when I forgot to reload my backup batteries...saber69 said:Ag with kids said:It's a thing we nerds use...saber69 said:

from 2002, not sure the value today. Story checks out timing is off though. If they knew in 2002 the true value why didn't they drop the name then? Maybe donation levels have been raised since then. Or there was always a term limitation.Old RV Ag said:First, it is Zachry.infinity ag said:THE_CHOSEN_ONE said:hedge said:

As for Dwight Look it might be endowment related. Dwight gave land in Guam he owned that was supposedly valued at over $50 million - so for that they named the college after him. Now, the land turned out to really be worth less than $10 million in more recent times. Given that naming a department like mechanical engineering requires in the $15-20 million range they may have felt it was inverted for the college to be named after him. I don't think it was any nefarious SJW, racist accusations, etc. I don't have concrete proof but from the bits I know that's my take.
