Roy- //Where have you read that?//
On Ken's link, there's a further link named "Our demamds" within the text. That sends you to a tweet that states the original name. Obviously I don't know if it's true, but I've got no reason to disbelieve it. I assume the residents of the college know the rock's history better than we do.

Has I said earlier many ignorant people referred to all dark rocks as n-heads so this particular rock is just one of many...are they going to remove all the dark rocks in the state?
They also state the will be placing it on the grounds near a lake...is that to upset black people who like to stroll near the lake?
It's all bonkers and anyone who thinks it is not, has rocks in their head.

Maybe AB will block this

This is news to me.
It also proves what a pointless waste of money this rock moving is.

I agree that this particular case is a waste of money, it is mindsets that need changing - as long as subsequent generations pass down these derogatory terms they will endure.
That spot will now become known as the site where 'N*****head Rock' stood.
My Mother used to use a word for small black children that she had heard through her childhood in stories and rhymes, she always said it with a smile and used it to say how bonny they were - I had to work hard to try to get her not to use it in public as people didn't hear it the way she meant it.

It seems Peter isn't the only pedant around. One stupid social media outlet is much like another. I use neither, so it's much the same to me.
//They also state the will be placing it on the grounds near a lake...is that to upset black people who like to stroll near the lake?//
So they're not removing it, just moving it. Seems like this story gets less and less relevant by the minute.

Sorry for going a little off-piste, Roy, but Mamya's mum has reminded me of something.
Robertson's Golliwog has always been seen as a heinous racial slur.
As often, the truth is rather different.
It was actually satirical. It was a caricature of the popular blacked-up minstrels of the time.
Of course we didn't know that. I still remember sending off for my enamel badge ;o)
