Whose View on Cross Will W&M Board Endorse?


Virginia Democratic Governor Tim Kaine

On Cross Displayed in Wren Chapel:

  •  “recognizes the history of [W&M], which you can’t change”
  • “I don’t see a need to [remove it]”
  • “…did not offend me”
  •  “I’m just struck by the fact that it is a chapel”
  • “a part of William and Mary”
  • “continuing in that way certainly wouldn’t bother me.”

W&M President Gene Nichol

On Cross Displayed in Wren Chapel:

  • unacceptably created “insiders/outsiders” at W&M
  • obstacle to goal of chapel being “welcoming to all”
  • obstacle to goal of “recognition of the full dignity of each member of [W&M’s] diverse community”
