The Battens have given a very large amount to Virginia Wesleyan. A similar name change worked well for Trinity College after Buck Duke started showering money on them.
I don't have access to the Times; does it mention last year's tax change? The standard VAT was, for the first time, applied to private school fees, implicitly increasing prices by 20% across the board. This has triggered a wave of school closures.
Hey thanks. Yes, I saw that this was part of philanthropy. Makes sense, I just like something like Virginia Batten University or something to keep the symmetry with old name.
I am not sure on the Times article actually. Thanks for flagging it.
