The University of Alabama will return millions of dollars from a donor and removed his name from its law school after he told students to boycott the university over Alabama’s ban on nearly all abortions.
Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr., 70, told The Associated Press that the university’s board of trustees did so in response to his statements and said that it made the state appear as “the land of the backward” and full of “hicks.”
“What have you done Alabama? You have effectively put a 12-gauge in your mouth and pulled the trigger,” he said.
Kellee Reinhart, the university’s vice chancellor for communication, in a statement Friday denied that his statement was the reason for its returning of the donation.
