Washington and Lee University will remove Confederate flags from its Lee Chapel after a group of black students led protests arguing that the Virginia school was unwelcoming to minorities.

President Kenneth P. Ruscio’s announcement Tuesday likely will reverberate among many of the school’s students and alumni who revere the Lexington university’s southern heritage. For decades, the administration has delicately addressed the school’s historic ties to the Confederacy and, early in the university’s history, its own prosperity drawn from the possession and sale of slaves.
