"Adelaide University considers dropping Santos name from building "
And so it should.
"The newly formed Adelaide University is considering removing [toxic] gas company Santos’s name from one of its buildings.
On Saturday, students and conservationists rallied outside the Santos "Petroleum Engineering" building, calling on the university to dump the name because of the company’s new gas projects.
The university had already been considering dropping the name after a sponsorship deal expired, its vice-chancellor told Guardian Australia.
Prof Nicola Phillips started as vice-chancellor in January after the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide merged. “That process of consideration was already under way,” she said."
