PRINCETON – Princeton University's board of trustees has agreed to form a committee to comprehensively examine President Woodrow Wilson's legacy and determine if there should be changes to how the university recognizes his name on campus, University President Christopher L. Eisgruber said Sunday.

Eisgruber's comments - in an email to students, faculty and alumni - are his his first since student protestors occupied his office last week demanding changes on campus, chief among them their believe that Wilson's name should be removed from campus due to his racist views.
