Dudley argues that institutions like the Honor System and Speaking Tradition continue to positively shape W&L’s culture.
“I feel like they're strong. Does that mean they're perfect? No,” President Dudley argued regarding the Honor System and Speaking Tradition.
Prior to current student, faculty and alumni discussions of the Honor System, Washington and Lee President Will Dudley agreed to sit down for an interview with The Spectator.

Vandalism at W&L’s LGBTQ+ Resource Center
On the morning of November 7, an act of vandalism was discovered in the Red House, W&L’s on-campus LGBTQ Resource Center. Spray paint-graffiti was found on an inside wall and a door.

In an email to students, President Dudley asked the W&L community to support the “LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff whose facility was targeted in [the] incident” and stated that “there is no place for harassment, intimidation, or vandalism at Washington and Lee.”
