New Austin bureau reporter Mulvaney's 1st byline:
AUSTIN – University of Texas regents voted unanimously Thursday to strip the name of a former law professor from a 55-year-old building because of his ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
Simkins Hall will be renamed Creekside Residence Hall, marking one of the first times a Southern university has responded to sensitivity concerns over a building's name. UT President William Powers asked the regents last week to rename the dorm.
