WE define Lee as: an unrepentant white supremacist, traitor, and liar who killed more Americans than any opposing leader in history. He also lost a lot. #WashingtonAndLee https://t.co/HyykqCkHPu

General Lee lost most of the time. He is still losing. The board delivered on 3 of Not Unmindful’s 4 requests. #Winning

The best that these 28 can hope for is that their names will be forgotten. #WashingtonAndLee

Seriously @USNewsEducation, what are you evaluating?

Imagine a board of trustees more afraid of being called woke than racist.

[Carliss Chatman @carlissc]

It is completely unfair for me to say the name helps make Lex Mecca for white supremacists. Cause people walk down all your streets like this during MLK weekend, right?

So we wait to see if the members of the 2021 Board of Trustees at #WashingtonAndLee are like their courageous predecessors who voted for coeducation in 1984 or their cowardly predecessors who voted to prevent Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from speaking on campus in 1961.

With the introduction of dozens of full ride + stipend scholarships and a promise to meet the financial need of all admitted students, applications SHOULD have increased. But they have remained flat.
