If you are going to resort to “whatabouting,” you should probably pick a college that doesn’t further highlight W&L’s shortcomings. 4.8% Black enrollment is terrible, but it is 26.3% more than W&L.
The polite rationale for keeping the name of a traitorous, dyed-in-the-wool white supremacist on the institution seems to be that it will affect giving, and then W&L won’t have the resources to address the problem. The hole in this logic is that the problem can’t really get any worse than it is now, so why not just do the right thing?
