            <text>Dear members of the Board of Visitors,&#13;
In a few brief days you have disgraced our University beyond all reason and acted in complete opposition to the principles which have guided us from our founding. I beg you to rectify this situation immediately, for I no longer can claim to have “worn the honor of honors.”&#13;
&#13;
While I believe you think you are doing what is right, your actions to oust President Sullivan are just simply wrong. You have acted in an appallingly dishonorable manner when you secretively orchestrated her forced resignation, and have since treated our community of trust with arrogance by dismissively refusing to explain, engage, and listen to the academic community you serve. &#13;
&#13;
Rector Dragas, it is time for you to do what is honorable and resign. Whether or not you are in the right, you can no longer effectively lead the Board of Visitors or work with the University community. You have irrevocably broken our trust. Next, reinstate President Sullivan and moving ahead, let UVa lead the way in higher education as we always have before now. If you act swiftly you can right this wrong. &#13;
&#13;
Repairing UVa’s reputation for academic excellence and honor, staving off faculty resignations, preserving the good will of donors and parents, and returning us to the ranks of premiere institutions can only be begun with the immediate resignation of Rector Dragas and reinstatement of President Sullivan. Act now. Please. I am embarrassed and ashamed, disappointed and broken-hearted. &#13;
&#13;
With respect for the difficulty of your job and disgust that you have sullied the good name of Virginia,&#13;
&#13;
