[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] How do you feel about the potential impact of Youngkin’s ability to appoint members to the BoV, which governs the school? (Within the next few years, virtually all appointees will be by Youngkin, which could have a lot of implications for what/how things are taught at UVA.) [/quote]

Nothing will change.[/quote]

All governors appoint their cronies. The faculty teach what they want.[/quote]

Ask professors in Florida if that’s true. Or ask the professors who’ve left Wisconsin-Madison after they weakened tenure protections. Who runs a state has real implications for public universities—especially when the people who run the state are Republicans who relied on the culture war to win their elections.[/quote]

We're not talking about Florida.  We're not talking about Wisconsin either.  We're talking about Virginia, where among other things governors are limited to one term.  Yes, Youngkin is nuts but he's not the first Republican governor Virginia has ever had.  UVA will outlive him, trust me.  [/quote]

His BOV appointees will be there long after he’s gone. Republican BOV appointees are the ones who tried to push out UVA’s president ten years ago for not running the university like a business. The culture warrior folks Youngkin is appointing now will push their own agendas for years to come. [/quote]
