Virginia Tech President Tim Sands announced Monday that hes asking for a review of the name of Lee Hall. The building, which opened in 1966, is named for Claudius Lee, and serves as a residence hall that houses 811 students, according to the university. According to the university, during the 125th anniversary of Virginia Tech, students in a history class came across a page in the 1896 yearbook that listed Lee as a leader in the campus chapter of the KKK. As part of the process this time around, Sands has asked the Council on Virginia Tech History to examine this issue and make a recommendation.
