“Well, one of the first things the new Interim President Taylor Reveley (a UVA alum by the way) should do is update W&M’s website. Its look is pretty dated. That’s the first thing many prospective students look at when researching W&M.”

It’s already in the works.

I might add that in the last few days much more information has become available and it appears that many (not all) students are backing down from their pro-Nichol, anti-BOV stance. Too many people read Nichol’s parting words and took it as gospel, when, in fact, it was not. The campus is quieting down. Throughout the whole ordeal, I only had professor cancel class. I think, though some people were very upset, this ordeal has been blown out of proportion. Some of the media made it sound as though the majority of teachers and students went on strike when that is certainly not the case. I can tell you that there are just as many who support the BOV’s decision and many more who just do not care. I would urge caution however to anyone who only bases their opinions on Nichol’s statement as it seems many have.
