VMI's first Black superintendent says ouster is based on politics, not job performance

  • Gen. Cedric T. Wins claims his dismissal as VMI's first Black superintendent is due to politics and bias against diversity efforts, not job performance, in his statement after the board's contract vote.
  • The VMI board voted 10-6 against renewing Wins' contract, despite his initiatives to enhance diversity and inclusion.
  • Alumni expressed mixed feelings about VMI's diversity programs, with some supporting training aligned with military goals, while others labeled it as 'woke' or related to 'critical race theory.'
  • Wins stated that resistance to these changes came as the political climate shifted, particularly after federal diversity funding threats.
