  • March 19, 2021 Glenn Dubois Chancellor State Board for Community Colleges 300 Arboretum Place Richmond, VA 23236 Dear Dr. Duboi
    March 19, 2021 Glenn DuBois Chancellor State Board for Community Colleges 300 Arboretum Place Richmond, VA 23236 Dear Dr. Dubois: It has come to our attention as members of the Virginia General Assembly that the Lord Fairfax Community College Advisory Board recently voted to change the name of Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC). We understand that the LFCC Advisory Board has recommended this action to the Virginia State Board for Community Colleges and we write to urge you not to act on this request. Instead, we ask that you recognize the overwhelming opposition from the communities served by LFCC who share a deep connection to the institution and loyalty to its identity. We share in the opposition to the decision and are saddened by the LFCC Advisory Board’s lack of consideration of community stakeholders’ input, for whom such a decision requires consultation. Further, the allocation of such significant financial resources for changes to the college name reflects poor stewardship at a time when resources should be spent to advance the needs of community college students. We hope that the board will act in the interest of students consistent with our constituents’ overwhelming desire to support the mission of LFCC and preserve the current institution as it is known in the region. Thank you very much for your consideration and we hope you will contact us if you have further questions. Sincerely, Senator Mark Obenshain Senator Jill Vogel Delegate Todd Gilbert Delegate Michael Webert House Minority Leader Delegate David LaRock Delegate Bill Wiley Delegate Mark Cole CC: President Kim Blosser .
