The Board of Trustees at Washington and Lee University voted 22-6 on Friday to continue under its current name, which includes former President George Washington and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The board acknowledged “sharp disagreements” about the school’s name and history but said members found no consensus as to whether changing the Lexington, Virginia, university’s name “is consistent with our shared values.”

Go, Generals! Tom Wolfe would be proud.
So there are 22 white suprema-cysts on the board?
It’s just a matter of time before they buckle.
Alum contributions a likely factor
It appears there are six that need to be expelled or replaced for not having the attitude and comportment that Washington and Lee maintained.
General Lee’s name to be stripped from the chapel.
Even in the Bible Belt people buckle. Unless they're suspendered. I mean suspended.
Catch is they are naming it Denzel Washington and Bruce Lee University, shortened to Washington and Lee.
Wait until next semester.
GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!
glad to see the Board of Trustees at Washington and Lee University have the sanity and balls to take a proper stand and not wilt to stoopids.
Spine!
“It’s just a matter of time before they buckle.”
They are well on their way; right now they have trouble speaking their own name: “We are confident that W&L will emerge stronger as a result of our active engagement on these issues, the work we have done together, and the actions and commitments we are taking,” the board said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
Still, their actions are a small victory for reason. We haven’t seen many since November.
A random act of SANITY!
Good ! My dad went there !
.....Washington and Lee University to maintain its name....
GOOD!!!!
It looks like there are six board members that don’t share the values of Generals Washington and Lee. Those board members need to be removed.
finally some common sense, thank you Trustees!!!
