Judge will consider injunction to keep Sweet Briar College open
"BEDFORD - A surprise split decision this morning from a Bedford County Circuit Court judge kept alive efforts to block the closure of Sweet Briar College.
Judge James W. Updike Jr. ruled the county attorney for Amherst County does have standing under state law to challenge whether the college leadership is inappropriately using funds solicited for the operation of Sweet Briar to close it down.
However, Updike also ruled Sweet Briar is a corporation, not a trust, siding with college attorneys and the state attorney general on one of two motions before the court.
Wednesday morning, Updike will consider County Attorney Ellen Bowyer's motion for a temporary injunction to halt the board of directors from taking steps to close the college."
