Repair work will begin today on the Confederate soldier statue that a pickup truck crashed into last month.



A structural stability evaluation determined the statue did not sustain any structural damage, according to Ryan Whittington, assistant director of public relations for social media strategy for the university. He said the base of the statue only suffered cosmetic damage, but the contextualization plaque and its base were damaged beyond repair.
The University Police Department had released a statement saying nothing indicated the accident was intentional.
