Jim Morgan: UW’s policy on nicknames is offensive

Dear Editor: I just read Rob Schultz’s story, “UW men’s basketball: Loopholes may allow game vs. Seminoles,” and am wondering if/when the University of Wisconsin is ever going to rescind that incredibly silly policy about nicknames.

“Florida State’s nickname is the Seminoles,” Mr. Schultz wrote, “and there is a school policy preventing UW athletic teams from playing another school out of conference that has a nickname offensive to American Indians.”
