Typically, institutions have either oil paintings or fancy photographs of their paast presidents. When his hits the wall, maybe some of the students (alums, etc.) could request that his painting/picture be turned to face the wall on the grounds that seeing him at every pass “offends them.”

I was wondering too - you know how things are nowadays even at ‘’religious’’ schools. Looks like his wife has an unusual female name, from a quick Google search.

I wasn’t aware that a private, church sponsored institution was required to meet the same constitutional limitations placed on the US government by its citizens.

uh, me either

The guy comes across as a complete wuss and an idiot. His rant was actually kind of funny in it’s condescending moral high ground tone.

“I was informed by the Rector on Sunday, after our Charter Day celebrations, that my contract will not be renewed in July”

Rector...

Is that where the cross he had ordered hidden use to be?

Don’t force your liberal views on an entire Student Body and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Now go cry and whine at the Law School and train another generation bloodsuckers.

Good riddance. Too bad he resumes “teaching” law.

The College sits at the end of Main Street, the mile long road of Williamsburg. For many years, it was supported by the Surveyors of the area...1/6th of their income went to the college..more or less...a licensing fee.

The Rockefellers of New York bought up almost all the properties of this historic Town when it was depressed.

Restored over the years, the Town is worth the visit...just to walk in the footsteps of those eminent men and all the brave men who fought for "Independence".

Signed...An old surveyor

You can say that again.

When will these officials and faculty members of public universities realize that they work for us?

“I wasn’t aware that a private, church sponsored institution was required to meet the same constitutional limitations placed on the US government by its citizens.”

Which institution is that? W&M is a public university.

Talk about sanctimonious!

Someday, one of these college administrators will explain why ‘diversity,’ defined as racial, gender, ethnic quotas, is more important than simply having the very brightest students of any race, gender or ethnicity.

In the US today, a competitive college like W&M could easily have a majority of students ‘of color’ simply by admitting all the qualified Asians who apply. That’s not good enough for the likes of Nichol and his fellow ivory tower crowd.

Follow the money (or lack thereof) as in raising it for the college. Bets are that donations are waaaaaaaaaaaaay down.

Cliff notes so people don’t have to read the whole thing: “Since I have been informed that I have been fired, I have made the tough decision to quit. Every disagreement I have ever had with anyone is because I am smart and noble, and everyone else isn’t”
