Sullivan Resinstated as University President

In an unexpected move on June 10, 2012, the Board of Visitors announced that Teresa A. Sullivan would step down as president of the University of Virginia.

Since that time, the University community has responded passionately with strong opinions on all sides. There have been robust debates about the faculty's role in University governance, a rally and silent vigil in support of Sullivan, an all-night Board meeting in the Rotunda, and widespread media coverage.

On June 26, the Board of Visitors voted unanimously to reinstate Sullivan to her post.

BackStory with the American History Guys

BackStory is a brand-new public radio program that brings historical perspective to the events happening around us today. On each show, renowned U.S. historians Ed Ayers, Peter Onuf, and Brian Balogh tear a topic from the headlines and plumb its historical depths. Over the course of the hour, they are joined by fellow historians, people in the news, and callers interested in exploring the roots of what's going on today. Together, they drill down to colonial times and earlier, revealing the connections (and disconnections) between past and present. With its passionate, intelligent, and irreverent approach, BackStory is fun and essential listening no matter who you are.
