Confederate research continues
Monday, January 22, 2018 by Elizabeth Pagano

A Jan. 17 memo from Chief Equity Officer Brion Oaks explains that the office needs a little more time to ensure a list of “Confederate assets” is thorough and a stakeholder process is inclusive. With this in mind, a report is now scheduled to be completed by July of this year.
