W&M President Gene Nichol resigns....

Gene Nichol resigned today as President of the College of William and Mary. The Board of Visitors decided not to renew Nichol's contract for another term, thus Nichol decided to resign immediately.

Delegate Tim Hugo stated, "I appreciate Gene Nichol's service to the College of William and Mary, but I think for the good of the College, he made the best decision by resigning."

Hugo continued, "Unfortunately, his tenure has seen an unending string of political controversies. He is a nice man, but, I do not believe that he ever made the successful transition from political activist to college president. I wish him well in his future endeavors."
