Beat me to it! I’m also alumni, and I had another post already started with this email, but decided to check last second to see if anyone else made it yet.
Anyway, wooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!!
I suspect a muskrat, but would have to sniff to be sure ...
Go Tribe!
Remember he is a lawyer.
MIT faces this issue. The way they solve it is to create two classifications for minorities; regular minorities and "underrepresented minorities". The latter are all minorities whose percentage in the MIT student body is less than that of the overall U.S. population. Any underrepresented minority that applies and meets admissions criteria is accepted. Any other minority (e.g., those of Asian heritage) competes at the same level as all other students.
That this is not just an end-around to artificially change the makeup of the student body through quotas regardless of academic qualifications can be proved by the fact that underrepresented minorities have stayed that way throughout the years of this policy. And the percentage of students of Asian heritage still far outstrips the number you'd see if they were artificially held down to the level that they are in the overall population.
What's the graduation rate and class ranking of "underrepresented minorities" vs. all other students?

Let’s take bets as to which “fine” University this guy will wind up at.
He’s going back to teaching law with W&M.
Thanks for the ping. I missed this piece of good news.
A Flock of Seagulls.
Why is this? Because students come from a middle, lower middle or even poor family, does it mean their education is not worth anything or to bet a loan on? 100% of their needs met on the backs of others. Great education there! sarc/
Yea, I guess if I had actually read the first paragraph I would have known that..I just skimmed for the good stuff!
That write-up pointed out the fact, which you undoubtedly know, that the first Professor of Law in the United States was George Wythe at W&M. And that among his students were Jefferson, Madison, Mason, and Patrick Henry. It is unfortunate that Nichol is apparently going back to the law faculty, where he will continue to disgrace those former graduates of W%M.

This is great news. This creep was doing his level best to destroy that place.
The traditional good luck wish that he have following winds is most likely to be the result of his own propensity to frequently break wind. Good to see that he is leaving the presidency of W&M. Maybe George Soros will buy him a college on the left coast to play in.
His statement is simply a ultra left manifesto.
He also forgot to mention that he changes the WM logo to remove the Indian feathers.
This guy should never have been hired.
It is a shame that Nichol will remain on the law faculty, where his corrupted ideas about the Constitution will continue to infect law students.

Absolutely perfect doublespeak!
"Removed" now has the same meaning as "altered the way it was displayed"!
