Utah university removes Reid's name from center

RENO, Nev. (AP) —Southern Utah University President Scott Wyatt acknowledged he was under pressure from a group of conservatives to remove Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's name from a center on campus, but he insisted politics had nothing to do with his decision to do so.
The Nevada Democrat's name was removed from the front door of the school's Outdoor Engagement Center in Cedar City, Utah, last week, several months after two local elected officials and others met with Wyatt and told him they had received $40,000 in pledges in five days toward erasing Reid's name, Wyatt said Friday.
Wyatt said he told the group to stop raising money and that he would not accept it to remove Reid's name from the center.
Instead, he decided to strike Reid's name because it created confusion about the center's purpose because "nobody" associated the senator with the outdoors, Wyatt said. The center rents outdoor equipment to students, offers internship programs for students seeking outdoor careers and coordinates project-based learning activities for students.
