Stability Amid Change at the University | Charlottesville News

Teresa Sullivan, former UVA president, reveals how the University remains steady despite leadership shifts—thanks to strong applications, a healthy endowment, loyal faculty, and its enduring mission. She recalls her own brief, controversial ouster in 2012, now contrasted with today’s more stable, less politically charged transitions. Emphasizing that the institution’s heartbeat lies in its community—not just its top brass—she notes rising student interest and praises current leadership, including President Beardsley. Sullivan also urges the new Board of Visitors to broaden expertise beyond finance and law, and she defends higher education as essential, not an “enemy,” pointing to alumni who’ve served in every U.S. administration.
