Comment: Uh, no. No legal issue involved with Deady. Also, if there are racists out there who wish to give, I think it's safe to say that if they'd like their names enshrined, most Eugene residents would say, "No!"
Ask yourself this: if a guy named Eichmann (yes, that one) had a building named after him, would you object to it? Slavery killed a lot more Africans than Nazism did Jews--- and it was quite alright for HUNDREDS of years in this very country. We're coming up on the quatercentenary of slavery in this country. Sorry, but Deady's name is on a public building. It's time to realize how hateful that must be to African-American students.
