I was reading between the lines the other day when I drew some harsh conclusions about recently resigned William & Mary President Gene Nichol (see “The Nichol Resignation Narrative Is Looking Weaker and Weaker“). The charismatic but erratic college president had baldly misrepresented the circumstances of his resignation, I’d written, and in doing so had generated waves of negative headlines for the university he purported to love. He was not fired for ideological reasons, as he claimed, but for his failures as an administrator. I now feel totally vindicated in drawing those conclusions.
