By IAN SHAPIRA | The Washington Post | Published: April 15, 2021 LEXINGTON, Va. The Virginia Military Institute, under fire for its treatment of minorities, has selected its first Black superintendent in the school s 182-year-old history. Cedric T. Wins, a retired Army Major General and 1985 VMI graduate, was appointed Thursday to the top job in a unanimous vote by the college s Board of Visitors, the body that oversees the Lexington school. Wins, 57, who grew up in Hyattsville, Md., and was the first in his family to attend college, has been leading the nation s oldest state-supported military college since Nov. 13, when he was appointed as interim superintendent. He replaced retired Army Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III, 80, who resigned Oct. 26, seven days after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, D, ordered an investigation into the school, and nine days after The Washington Post chronicled rampant racism on the campus.
