Press Statement from an Officer of the William and Mary Young Democrats:

The College of William and Mary Young Democrats fully condones the efforts of the William and Mary community in this moment of deep sadness. Since the untimely resignation of the College President, Gene R. Nichol, the campus and community has been in a continuous uproar of student voices crying high upon the gale. The student body has embodied all of the progressive ideals and undying respect for the United States Constitution of President Nichol into a galvanized movement for the betterment of the College of William and Mary. As a group established on the ideals of the Constitution and promoting progressive ideals here at the College, it would be amiss if we did not stand with any movement who seeks progressive values and Constitutional respect. We stand with all those who promote these ideals; this movement is no longer about one man but about what one man has done for the progress of diversity, respect, community, knowledge and equality and about continuing his efforts as a tribute to his legacy. We cannot stand by as the ideas of progressive aspirations and Constitutional duties pass away with the loss of one. President Nichol represents a spirit of unconquerable belief in the duties of people everywhere and that the Constitution of this nation cannot be treated as an Enron document – easily shredded and disregarded until it is too late. Additionally, President Nichol has come to represent the hopes of the great leaders of our Party; that diversity, equality, choice, knowledge, and freedom will not perish from this historic soil. We stand in the hope that all those who are representing this movement today will remain involved and see this movement of progressive ideals extended to the larger community, that students take it home with them and ignite the movement there until these ideals we stand for here at the historic College of William and Mary today will once again circle the globe in promoting diversity, equality, Constitutional respect, human rights, and freedom.
