Another faculty resignation at the University of Virginia. Ian G. Macara, Ph.D.; Harrison Distinguished Professor of Microbiology; Director, Advanced Microscopy Facility resigned Wednesday. His resignation letter to Dean Zeithaml read in part "My wife and I are moving to Vanderbilt University, together with our $6 million in grant funding." William Wulf, UVa University of Professor (in Computer Science) and recent 11-year President of the National Academy of Engineering resigned Wednesday. So did Vice Rector Mark Kington.

That crystal ball in Virginia must be quite polished to be so prescient. Was he waiting to send his resignation until he got free postage at Vanderbilt?
^^exactly, xig. That offer HAD to be on the table for quite awhile. No highly ranked college gives out immediate tenure + gobs of money without a LOT of prior internal discussions, which take time. (tick tock).
