Throughout the last eight months, the Board of Visitors has caught waves of criticism and appeals for change, all of which finally came to a head with Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s inauguration into office two weeks ago. Spanberger’s recent prompting of five resignations from the Board of Visitors follows a series of disappointments in the Board, an indirectly yet inherently community-facing governing body that has repeatedly fallen short of reassuring its own audience — particularly since former University President Jim Ryan’s forced resignation in July. Her actions represent an impending fresh start for the University after months of political pressure, community disregard throughout the subsequent search for a 10th president and overall uncertainty about the future. Therefore, Spanberger’s Board renovation should have been expected after the Board’s recent actions. Rather than deepen instability, this decision will swiftly begin the healing process for the University community following months of tensions with the Board.
