TL;DR Popular UVA President Teresa Sullivan abruptly resigns a week ago. Billionaire and Darden School of Business Board of Trustees chair Peter Kiernan mistakenly replies all to an email and reveals how he along with some other rich folks engineered the resignation. Faculty and students furiously protest. popcorn.gif

Thanks for the tl;dr because 4 or 5 articles is definitely too long to read

Anyway, megalulz. At least we don't have something new to overshadow our governor bullshit (Easely? Edwards?)

Sullivan was reinstated today. Pretty incredible turnaround

Yeah... the governer essentially told those in charge at UVA to 'End this leadership fiasco now, or you're all fired'

Honestly I can't figure out why this is a big deal or a lulz. Billionaires and college presidents are their own little world. I did read the email and really expected something more...the guy is clearly a douche but that would be par for the course in that society.

you can't figure it out?

I'm shocked
