Mr. Nichol ain't worth a plug penny! What a scumball/screwball W&M has hired. Isn't former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor the Provost at William & Mary? Where was she in all of this mess? Very interesting and food for thought.

The committee has now supplied [a recommendation], and President Nichol and the board of visitors have accepted it. The committee recommended unanimously that the cross be put on permanent display at the chapel, but that it be put behind a glass case. The case will be in a "prominent, readily visible place" with "a plaque explaining the college's anglican roots" and connection to the Bruton parish church. Moreover, "the Wren sacristry shall be available to house sacred objects on any religious tradition for use in worship and devotion by members of the college community."
So keep up the pressure and spread the word - this "solution" is just smoke and mirrors for the easily-fooled (in their lofty minds, that is)...
Chimera, you were part of this fight-back? It's perfect -- hit them HARD where it hurts. Words, they won't listen to words. It's fighting DEEDS -- cut off the money, you win. It's quite simple and straightforward. And it is direct and clear consequences to their decision. Keep up the good work.
Am yet we hear a hue and cry to let these administrators have the ability to fire Willey nilly any teacher.(I know this is college but the same attitude is prevalent in public school administration as well)
As bad as the NEA is, there would be very few conservative teachers in education without them. There has to be a better way.
