LEGAL DOCUMENTS
Saving Virginia Wesleyan has fought the name change for months.
For months, the men and women behind Saving Virginia Wesleyan have stood at the forefront of a dedicated movement to preserve the historic identity of our institution against the proposed rebranding to Batten University. We believe that the Virginia Wesleyan name carries a legacy of academic excellence and community pride that cannot simply be replaced. To maintain full transparency with our alumni, students, and supporters, we have compiled a comprehensive archive of our advocacy. Below, you will find the legal documents and correspondence that document our journey through administrative channels as we fight to protect the Marlin heritage for future generations.
