Reinstatement Day

"There have been numerous comments about the process the Board of Visitors used in asking for and approving the resignation of President Sullivan," said Heywood Fralin (right, with Rector Helen Dragas), former rector and BOV member. "It is my opinion that everyone agrees that the process was flawed. It can never be repeated when important decisions are being made by this Board."

Sullivan Speaks

After her reinstatement, President Sullivan addressed the crowd. "I am not good enough, or wise enough, or strong enough to do everything that needs doing at UVA on my own, but you have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am not alone. I believe that, together, we can do great things for our University.
