Survey: W&L Community Divided Over Confederate Flags

Shortly after President Ruscio’s announcement early last week concerning the new flag policy for Lee Chapel, The Spectator sent out a survey in order to gauge the W&L community’s opinion on the matter. The survey was sent to nearly 2,200 alumni and to all current undergraduates except for incoming freshmen. 433 alumni responded to the survey, along with 433 students.
