The descendant of University of Richmond megadonors is demanding the university return the more than $3 billion his family donated after it stripped the university law school of his ancestor's name.
In an open letter to University of Richmond President Kevin Hallock, Virginia-based attorney Robert Smith blasted the university for removing the name of his great-great-grandfather T.C. Williams from its law school and demanded that the university turn over its $3.3 billion endowment as recompense.
"The Law School was not named the T.C. Williams, Sr. Law School," he wrote."If your board had any gratitude, it could have easily left well enough alone as certainly T.C. Williams, Jr. had no 'connection to slavery.'" Smith blasted the school for kowtowing to"woke" demands and said the Williams family represented everything antithetical to"radical leftists."
