When the virtue signaling is cheap they're all over it. Giving up a recognized valuable brand like Yale? Way too expensive.

I don't see the problem here. Even public displays of principle have a cost/benefit ratio. Meanwhile, what do you think it would imply, if they didn't even do the cheap stuff?
That's called hypocrisy in my town.
It's called picking your battles in mine. Any proposal to rename the university itself is likely to run into more opposition than a proposal to rename a building.
