In 2006, at the request of the Student Issues Committee and the Visual Arts Committee, the Greenwood Mural in the University Center Ballroom, covered with paneling since 1972, was uncovered to allow a dialogue about the mural and race. Students were divided about whether the mural should remain uncovered, with some African American students feeling that the mural did, in fact, represent a racist, white view that should not be displayed. The mural was recovered.
