Virginia - Governor Threatens University Board With Removal - NYTimes.com The University of Virginia must decide on Tuesday whether to keep its president, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell said Friday, or he will ask the entire governing board to step down. The president, Teresa Sullivan, resigned two weeks ago after being told the Board of Visitors wanted her out. But protests from faculty members and students prompted the board to call next Tuesday's meeting on her status. "I want final action by the board on Tuesday," Governor McDonnell wrote in a letter to the board. If you fail to do so, I will call for the resignation of the entire board on Wednesday.
