Revenge of the Alumni

Remember this?

Alumni urge reversal on cross

College of William & Mary alumni are sending a simple message to the school's governing body: No cross, no cash.

They are encouraging the Board of Visitors (BOV), which meets tomorrow and Friday, to overrule college President Gene Nichol's October decision to remove a cross from the 313-year-old public college's Wren Chapel.

Any bets on whether the BOV reverses their position?

Update: Well as we predicted money talks and bullsh!t walks....

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — A compromise announced today will permanently return a brass cross to the chapel at the College of William and Mary, several months after the president's decision to remove the cross caused an outcry.
