The proposed induction of Michael Vick continues to generate controversy and often vitriolic commentary. As reported by the Collegiate Times (Tech’s campus newspaper), and the Roanoke Times along with other major news outlets, there is a growing list of people including an official statement by the Veterinary School (we share that with the University of Maryland) denouncing the induction.
Virginia Tech’s President Timothy Sands, and the Athletic Department remain supportive of the move. The growing number of signatories of the petition (It is unknown how many are Hokies) and the heat from the protests is unlikely to fade just because the administration of the school is currently on board with the decision.
