Well, maybe not any arguments. Leland Stanford Jr. had some of his own issues, depending on who you believe. However, since his parents named the University, I don't see how anybody can argue it should be re-named. But in today's PC world, nothing would surprise me. It is even more true than ever that

The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.
