(UVA) Board of Visitors votes to remove Confederate plaques from Rotunda
http://www.cavalierdaily.com/The University’s Board of Visitors voted Friday to remove the Confederate plaques erected in 1903 on the Rotunda. The resolution called for the plaques to be moved to a location at the University where they can be viewed as artifacts.
The Board also passed resolutions to designate the Academical Village as a facility and to enforce the University’s open flame policy. Under both of the resolutions, the University can enforce the University policy of prohibiting open flames without a permit on the Lawn.
The discussion regarding the two resolutions on the Lawn designation and open flame policy was short and quickly passed unanimously.
The moves follows a white nationalist torchlit march through Grounds on Aug. 11 that came to a violent end at the statue of Thomas Jefferson north of the Rotunda.
