Sweet Briar Alumnae Tell President, Board to Resign

Saving Sweet Briar, a group of alumnae and other supporters of the college, on Monday sent a letter to the college's president and trustees, accusing them of violating state law and calling on them to resign. The letter says that the board members have violated their obligation to carry out the college's mission and to use funds donated to the college for its operation, not to close it down. Sweet Briar referred questions to its lawyer, who said he was traveling and unable to study and respond to the letter.
