LEXINGTON, Va. (Richmond Times Dispatch) — Washington and Lee University faculty are considering a resolution to remove all references to the Confederacy from the campus of the small liberal arts college in Lexington as well as to the school’s name.

No action was taken during the virtual meeting Wednesday evening. But the more than 100 undergraduate and law school professors who attended the meeting plan to send a formal request to the school’s president and its Board of Trustees by the end of the month.

The school was named for the country’s first president, George Washington, and Robert E. Lee, the former confederate general and president of the university who is buried in a chapel on campus.

In 2018, a commission examining how history shaped the university suggested numerous changes but stopped short of recommending renaming the school.

The university did make changes to the names of some campus buildings.
