Vanderbilt University Chancellor Harvie Branscomb accepted the resignations of 10 divinity school faculty amid the James Lawson dispute. Walter Harrelson of Chicago declined the deanship after faculty rejected a settlement proposal. Lawson faces expulsion for anti segregation protests and remains enrolled at Boston University Divinity School. Nelson and others refused the compromise, citing Branscomb’s lack of assurance Lawson would be readmitted or granted a degree.
