<p>northwesty - I do not disagree at all that the appointment process as it is leads to an unbalanced agenda on the BOV that does not serve a university such as UVa. I alluded to this in my post above, and included this in my communication to my representatives. I feel strongly that a more diverse representation on the BOV is necessary. I do feel however that the BOV can not be led effectively at this point by Ms Dragas. We don’t have to agree on everything to respect each others viewpoints.</p>
