Historical research sponsored by the College indicated that College founder and first dean Serranus C. Hastings funded and supported individuals who engaged in mass killings and other atrocities against the Yuki Indians, primarily from 1858 to 1860, around 20 years before he founded the College.Located two blocks from San Francisco City Hall, at the intersection of the Civic Center, Tenderloin, and Mid-Market neighborhoods, the College is an integral part of the city in which it resides, and San Francisco is an integral part of the experience of studying at the College.However, if at any point in the future you are revising those documents, it would be a best practice to make the change then.The College will continue to work closely with the affected tribes on restorative justice measures even after the renaming is completed.A: If you have additional questions about the school’s name change, please reach out to the law school’s Chief Communications Officer Elizabeth Moore at: mooreelizabeth@uchastings.edu or 415-703-8266."
