WILLIAM AND MARY
Alumni, Students Call for New Leadership
A group of College of William and Mary alumni and students critical of President Gene Nichol has asked the Board of Visitors to begin a search for a new leader.
Nichol's opponents -- many of them angry about his decision to remove a cross from historic Wren Chapel, among other issues -- want the board to notify him at the end of this month that his contract will not be renewed.
Mike Connolly, director of university relations, said, "It's difficult to respond to an unknown group issuing what amounts to an anonymous press release issuing accusations that are factually incorrect."
Jim Jones, a 1982 graduate from Alexandria, said, "What bothers us most is the prevailing pattern we've seen of unpresidential behavior."
