How many people were at this dinner? Does he live on grounds? |

| My freshman relative is under two week quarantine. Testing today, no symptoms. Four from dorm are in a hotel with two meals a day. |

Four plus wife and cat and no he does not live on grounds. And he is very exhausted in appearance trying to deal with the COViD issues so you might just want to consider the personal drain on Presidents and Deans of colleges during this crisis. Just sitting on boards of colleges and private schools is very trying right now. Most serve with no co Compensation but donate heavily. Give them a break and if you are of a religious stripe consider prayers instead of criticism |

He doesn't have a wife and that's common knowledge. Maybe your kid wasn't at Dean Groves' house? |

. I was being discreet. Why is this so important to you? Because you were wrong about UVA backtracking on no 3? yes she was there. Yes he’s gay. Yes he has a cat. Yes he has a nice art collection. Yes he wrote a brilliant letter for DD which got her into Oxford the dinner was to celebrate that. And we paid for the gift wine. And the poor man is exhAusted from dealing with thousands of parents like you who are constantly calling about COViD. He had two lines of workers outside his office that do nothing but answer phone calls. Some days that’s all he does. Then he has dinner. Then he returns to the office to answer more calls. He and “Jim” are doing the very best they can to provide a hybrid experience. Now what else do you want to tear apart? |

Discreet? Do you think being gay is something to hide or be ashamed of? Dean Groves talks about his husband...why would you change him to a woman? He made $234,000 last year and President Ryan is the second-highest paid state employee in Virginia, making $963,000 (including the free housing, club memberships, and vehicle allowance). I don't feel sorry for them. |

Well I do. I feel compassion. You have now managed to beat up administrators on both sexuality and pay! Shame on you. I always switch up facts here to protect privacy. Everyone I know who posts here does that.
Now you’ll be demanding a list of the members of the Seven Society. Show some charity. Or read the Chronicle of Higher Education every day and see what the Deans and Presidents and Chancellors are trying to do to give the students a college experience while keeping them and the community safe and the parents happy. And what is relevant about their pay? No one else in this board has ever mention salaries of deans, provosts or Chancellors while talking about COViD plans. I’mactually shocked Groves makes so little. He could to law practice and make 5x that. President Ryan makes $752,000 . He came from Harvard where they pay much more. In fact most private colleges pay their presidents $1.7. His salary is low in comparison. U of Chicago pays theirs 3.5 million. And before you say “well, that’s private” go look at what MSU pays its President (over 1M). U of Michigan = 1M. Ryan could leave tomorrow and quadruple his salary by returning to Harvard or going to head Princeton. That is what the market pays . So please stop the bashing about irrelevancies. These men are exhausted. They (no not them personally - I know you’re the type of poster who makes trite remarks that go nowhere) are going through fecal matter in the dorms’ wastewaters to try to find cases before they present .... and manage a thousand professors, staff, hall staff, administrators all on its regular state budget (only 6% of its operating resources come from the Commonwealth and UVA resources. It is a nightmare. I’m glad I got off the school boards that I was on before this started. |

1. "Spouse" is the gender neutral word to use instead of husband or wife.
2. 29% of quarantine housing is occupied (possible exposure) and 8% of isolation rooms occupied (that's for people who tested positive). |
