Why did the Jefferson Council people want him to have the job?


Jefferson Council didn’t elect him - the Board of Visitors did. If you want to read the Council’s many concerns re Ryan going back over two years simply go to its website and start reading.

It takes a lot of guts to sign a letter like that.

Most people are silent because of cowardice.

Did you read the article? 191 faculty cared enough to sign a letter. That does not sound like no ones cares. It's the opposite!


You tried to make this same point on the political thread about Beardsley supposedly having insufficient degrees (he has four). Tgat thread, too, should have been posted in the politics forum bit here. The letter is old news. Name one school where the faculty doesn’t behave like that. Harvard faculty went batshit for Claudine Gay, too, but were wrong.

Besides, what the faculty thinks is irrelevant. They don’t make the decision: The Board of Visitors does.

And the Cavalier is a student newspaper and should be taken as such.



+1. BTW there are 1,291 faculty at UVA so 191 means squat even if you did think they were worth listening in to.

I agree! This flawed process taints him. Be a stand up go and go through the regular review process.
