Southern Utah University President Scott Wyatt acknowledges he was under pressure from a group of conservatives to remove Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's name from a center on campus, but says politics had nothing to do with his decision to do so. The Nevada Democrat's name was removed from the school's Outdoor Engagement Center in Cedar City, Utah, last week.
Wyatt said Friday the school's 2011 naming of the center for Reid, an SUU grad, generated no donations to the center. He said it also created confusion about the center's purpose because nobody associated Reid with the outdoors. Reid said in a statement Friday saying there was no agreement to have him raise funds for the center.
