<p>“But what happened to the separation of church and state/college is partially state-funded argument? It didn’t stand up legally I presume?”</p>
<p>hereshoping,</p>
<p>One thing to keep in mind is that Nichol’s justification for the removal was not based upon separation of church and state. The reason he gave was to make people feel more welcomed. Furthermore, Nichol is the former dean of the UNC law school. If he felt that there was a constitutional issue with the old, new, or compromise policy for the display and usage of the cross, I would fully expect that he would have said so.</p>
