Should Yale University change its name?

Elihu Yale, the namesake of the university in New Haven, CT, was a slave-trader. #cancelyale started as a meme illustrating the absurdity of cancel culture, but it’s also starting some legitimate discussion.

What do you think? Should a slave-trader’s name be taken off a university? Is this only practical with commercial products or individual buildings or can a whole university change its name if the namesake is “problematic”?
