Rally to Support UVa President Sullivan Outside of Board of Visitors Secret Meeting on Monday

The UVa Board of Visitors is scheduled to have a closed door meeting at 3 pm. on Monday June 18. This will be followed by a public meeting, where they have clearly stated the public will not be allowed to say a single word.

There are tentative plans for a rally outside the Rotunda, starting around 2:30 pm. on the University Av. side. Bring your signs and your ideas for chants. The media from Richmond and DC is supposed to be there.

The Rector said President Sullivan had to be removed (without any vote by the full board), because of a lack of vision. Here is the vision that President Sullivan had provided to the Board.

Here's the fast-growing facebook group calling for her re-instatement, which has many links and much discussion:

Sunday morning, President Sullivan had just been forced to resign, which was a big surprise to her. In a few hours the secret would become public. However, she still kept her appointment to speak to young people at the local AME church, and provided an inspiration message to them.
