William & Mary President Resigns After Scandals     2/12/2008
Gene Nichol Removed Cross from Wren Chapel and Allowed Sex Workers Art Show

Washington, D.C. — The controversial term of William & Mary College President Gene Nichol came to an end today. Nichol’s resignation follows his removal of the Wren Chapel’s historic cross and his approval of a Sex Workers Art Show earlier this year. The William & Mary Board of Visitors declined to renew Nichol’s contract last Friday.

“Universities have pushed the envelope in censoring Christianity and promoting pornography. Under the leadership of Gene Nichol, the College of William & Mary, a respected, historic institution became the poster child of the degradation of higher learning,” stated Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America (CWA). “Virginia Delegate Mark Cole and his colleagues in the Virginia House of Delegates boldly held the public university accountable and helped bring that institution back on track to focus on education, not de-moralizing the students.”

Janet Robey, State Director for CWA of Virginia, said, “I would like to praise those state delegates who work diligently every day to promote family values in Virginia. We need to ensure that our Virginia schools abide by a strict code of ethics.”

The Virginia House Privileges and Elections Committee held a hearing last Thursday, questioning nominees to the William and Mary Board of Visitors on the recent decisions made by former President Nichol. CWA commends the action and courageous stand taken by Committee Chairman Del. Mark Cole (R-Spotsylvania) and other legislators’ call for a return to values and the need to hold officials accountable.
