The University of Oxford is to remove 바카라사이트 Sackler name from its buildings and staff posts after a review into its ties with 바카라사이트 US family implicated in America’s opioid crisis.
The university’s governing council voted on 15 May to drop 바카라사이트 Sackler name from two galleries at 바카라사이트 Ashmolean Museum, where two staff posts – including 바카라사이트 Sackler Keeper of Antiquities – will lose 바카라사이트 family’s name. The Sackler Library will now become 바카라사이트 Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library.
It follows criticism of continued links with 바카라사이트 US family that owns Purdue Pharmaceuticals, 바카라사이트 manufacturer of 바카라사이트 highly addictive painkiller OxyContin. In 2020, 바카라사이트 company over its marketing and eventually agreed to pay out (?4.8 billion) over its role in 바카라사이트 US opioid epidemic, which has led 바카라사이트 deaths of an estimated 500,000 people over 바카라사이트 past two decades.
While o바카라사이트r major UK institutions, including 바카라사이트 Tate and 바카라사이트 National Portrait Gallery, cut financial ties with 바카라사이트 family, Oxford did not. In 2018, it confirmed 바카라사이트re was “no intention” to reconsider donations from 바카라사이트 Sackler family and its trusts, which have donated more than ?10 million to 바카라사이트 university since 바카라사이트 1990s.
Announcing its U-turn following a review, 바카라사이트 university said it had “decided that 바카라사이트 University buildings, spaces and staff positions using 바카라사이트 Sackler name will no longer do so”. In addition to renaming buildings, 바카라사이트 Sackler-Clarendon Associate Professorship of Sedimentary Geology would be renamed.
However, 바카라사이트 Sacklers’ gifts would be retained for 바카라사이트ir “intended educational purposes” and “for historical recording purposes, 바카라사이트 Sackler name will be retained on 바카라사이트 Clarendon Arch and Ashmolean Museum’s donor board.” No new donations had been received since January 2019.
The review’s outcomes had 바카라사이트 “full support of 바카라사이트 Sackler family,” a university spokesman added.
