Well, yeah... although he's attending VMI instead, which has its own issues.
In fairness, their leadership in recent years seems to have done an okay-ish job of addressing past historical problems of deep-seated racism in reasonably good faith. I disagree with some of their decisions in retaining some of their confederate memorials, although I accept some of them are nuanced (e.g., do you disinter cadets that died in battle and were subsequently buried on campus?).
IMO, most of their current problems are less about any current discrimination and more about the rabid fanaticism of their racist alumni, along with the general stupidity of many of their on-campus traditions involving don't-call-it-hazing and the intentional abuse of underclassmen.
