When Will They Learn? Travesty at UVA!


Kudos to the reporters at the Washington Post who are doing a superb job of factually and objectively reporting what strikes me as a pure “witch hunt” at the University of Virginia. While I don’t purport to know all the facts in this most unfortunate situation, I have great respect for the vision, skill and compassion of ousted UVA President Theresa Sullivan. Moreover, I believe she has performed most admirably.

I can only hope that the governing board of this prestigious public university, the Board of Visitors, will come to their senses and appeal to Dr. Sullivan to accept reinstatement. But I fear that it is probably too late for this to occur.

Governing boards in every institution of higher education should take notice of this travesty of justice and take immediate steps to preclude it from happening in their college or university. There should be no place for such Machiavellian behavior by a governing board.
