When George M. Cohen took over as chairman of the University of Virginia's Faculty Senate this month, the group wasn't exactly known as a powerbroker on campus. In fact, Mr. Cohen, a law professor here noted for his quiet and steady demeanor, was often asked exactly what the Faculty Senate did.
As much as I like and respect President Teresa Sullivan of the University of Virginia, the two-week struggle to restore her to her office was never about her. It was about who gets to guide the future of a great public research university. And in a sense, it was about how all great public research universities will be governed and guided in the next few years.

I stood there on Thomas Jefferson’s lawn as everyone in the crowd exhaled with relief. Pleased, tired, and impressed by my students’ devotion to this place, I hugged my colleagues and high-fived students. But I am not comforted. This fight is not over.
The portfolio of Cuban-American painter Emilio Sanchez contains a broad range of still life and natural scenes, but a collection featuring only his depictions of the built environment makes for a rewarding summer show at the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia.
A group from the University of Virginia School of Architecture in collaboration with the Ghana Heritage Conservative Trust has outdoored a three-year project for the modernization of the Oguaa Township.
The [Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission] is working with the city, county and the University of Virginia as part of a three-year $1 million federal grant awarded in 2010 for what is known as the Livable Communities Planning Project. One goal is to facilitate the comprehensive plan updates that guide local government planning decisions.
In many ways, on the "day after", the grounds of the University of Virginia looked like any other big college campus in the summertime. Students sauntered between classes, sometimes pausing to text a friend. Faculty members were back at work in their offices.
Alexander Gilliam has worked at the University since 1975 and says he's seen a sense of community among faculty, students, and alumni that he hasn't seen before.
Governor Bob McDonnell is vetting candidates for the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors, but he's not giving clues as to which members of the embattled board will return after their terms end July 1.
The controversy over President Teresa Sullivan’s ouster and reinstatement was framed as a question of whether academic or corporate values should govern higher education. This is the wrong framing. If we faculty rely on it, we will miss important questions. The right question is how any given institution of higher education should attack its long-range ambitions.
The day after U.Va.'s governing board reversed course and reinstated her as president, Teresa Sullivan joined other university presidents and legislators Wednesday at the state Capitol for ongoing policy discussions on challenges facing higher education. In Charlottesville, a resolve to move forward replaced the anger that had consumed the campus.
Even with Teresa Sullivan holding her job at Virginia, all in all, it's been a rough year for leaders of public universities. The universities of Illinois, Wisconsin and Oregon have all seen top-level changes in the past 12 months.
Questions — perhaps years’ worth — still linger about what happened in the past three weeks at the University of Virginia, but Wednesday, members of the university community were exhaling and taking a step back. “Today was a getting-back-to-business day for President Sullivan,” said university spokeswoman Carol Wood.
